Extracts from the Specifications Wblcn It Will Be Well for the People to Keep Close at Hand la Order That Work May be Properly Done. In view of the fact that work on the streets is soon ta be begun The Citizen reproduces some of the more important requirements of the specifications for such work. The contractor shall have charge of and be responsible for the entire line ol works until their completion and accept ance, and any unfaithful or imperfect work discovered at an? time before the final completion and acceptance of the work done under this contract shall be corrected immediately on the requirement of the engineer. The contractor will be required to execute the work in such manner so as to interrupt as little as possible the public use of the street. He will be held responsible for all practicable and legal notice and sig nals to the public, of the condition of the street while the work progresses, and shall keep a bright red light burning dur- iut 1 iic enure nigm at eacn ena 01 tne work, and at such other points as may be necessary, or the engineer directs. All loss or damage due to negligence or arising out of the nature of the work to be done, or from any unforeseen or un usual obstructions or difficulties which may be encountered in the prosecution of the same, or Irom the actian of the elements, will be sustained by the con tractor, who will be required, without cost to the city, to replace all work dis placed or injured by tnem, and to remove from the street all surolus material. earth, rubbish, etc., immediately after completion of the work, which must be deposited at suci points as the engineer may direct, provided the average haul of same shall not exceed fifteen hundred feet. The contractor will be required to keep in repair for twelve months after its completion, the whole of the work, except in cases where the repairs may be rendered necessary by causes clearly be yond his control. Work must be commenced withia ten days, and must be completed within days after the execution of the contract.

Failure to commence the work at the time specified or to prosecute it thereafter in asatislac- tory manner and at a rate ot progress necessary, in tne opinion ot the board, forits entire completion within the limits of the time fixed by the contract, will be authority for the board to suspend the contractors from the work and employ other parties to complete il. do claim snail be made or allowed for any work alleged to be extra work, un less the same shall be done in pursuance of a written order from the board, and unless also claim be made therefor to the board, at or before the first uavment after the alleged wotk is executed; it be ing agreed by the parties hereto that all work of whatever character otherwise done or failed to be claimed as above stated, shall be held to be work required by this contract.

Bond in the sum of one-third of the approximate amount of the contract, with two or more securities satislactoiy to the board, will be required for the faithful performance of the contract. Contractors will punctually pay the workmen .who shall be employed by the work under their contract in cash curreit, and not in what is denominated store pay or orders, and will, from time to time, and as often as may be required by the mayor, furnish to said mayor sat isfactory evidence that all persons who have done work or furnished materials have been paid as bereia required.

Many un official reports are current in regard to the plan of the organization adopted bv the Richmond Terminal committee, and although the committee has completed its work, the plan has not yet been given out. Unofficial statements are that a new company will be formed with a capital of $150,000,000 common and $75,000, 000 preferred stock and bonded debt of $212,000,000 first mortgage of four per cent, bonds and $66,000,000 of four per cent, in coupons.

Statements are given out by insiders that the plan has been under written by a syndicate, which will undertake to buy the securities Irom the dissenting solders. The claim is made that the new fours will be as good as any exist ing four per cent, bond, and that they will sell as high as any bond paying that rate of interest. NO SCHOOL. MONEY. No L,lcenne In charlotte Threat. I' ens to Close the Schools. "t Charlotte, N. C, February 16. On the first of January all the saloons in Charlotte were closed because the board of county commissioners relused to grant licenses. There were thirteen saloons in Charlotte and they paid an annual city license tax of $1,000 each. This license tax was appropriated to the support of the city graded schools. The refusal of the commissioners to renew the saloon licenses has cut off the source of revenue and the city aldermen at a recent meet ing notified the school board that there is no money in the treasury to maintain Hie schools. Papers have been served upon the commissioners to appear before ludge Hynum on Tuesday, the 23d, and show why license should not he granted to certain applicants. Commissioners in various counties have been refusing ap plicants for license wholly upon the ground that no man v ho applies far license to sell whiskey can have a good moral character, and the whole state is interested in the outcome of the Char lotte affair.
