IT IS NOT SETTLED. The Market House Floor Ques tion Adjudicated, But Not . Yet Ended. There waa a difference of $1043 be tween contractor Bit ins and the city of Raleigh. The city i-ontendedVhat the failure to make the floor ifhe' market up to sperifi ations threw ouv the whole claim. The experts, Messrs. Hicks and Ellington, today filed their report. They decided that contractor Bivins is to lose oulr $27.) for the failure to make the itooaa.ording to contract. But here is another hitch. The city refuses to abide by the de. ision of the referees. The city takes the view that the tx perts bad no right to decide on any of the claims outside of that for the defective floor. It is said that these other claim were for failure to whitewash the ceiling.
