The Reidsville commissioners offered to pay $4,500, provided claims filed with the town against O'Connor would be taken care of, and they claim this was provided in their contract with him. All the other items are denied by the city authorities and they will fight the suit The commissioners declare that they nave lived up to the provisions of their contract, and that there was no provision whereby the town was to furnish the contractor with wa ter, although water was furnished him. The underestimates, they con tend, grew out of the fact that after the city's civil engineer had made the survey and the estimates and the con tract was on the basis of his survey O'Connor employed an engineer and had a survey made and desires a S3t tlement on his engineer's estimates.
