Kingston Construction Company Will Not Stand for any Money Be- ing Withheld the Utilities Commission. 'When asked how the Kingston Construction -Company viewed the stand of the Utilities Commission expert with regard to the concrete Lo for the new gas tank, by George C. Wright stated to the Whig that the work was done ac- ! cording to specifications and under the direct supervision of the expert and his assistants, and if there was anything wrong it was the fault of the specifications and not of the construction company, which ear- ried out its contract fully. The { company, he said, would not stand for any money being withheld from its contract money for repairs that "might have to be made," as inti mated by Mr. Burnett to the Com- mission at its meeting Tuesday af- ternoon. The contract money must be paid before the company will permit the Commission to put any, steel on the concrete work. The contention of the construction tom- pany is that the specifications were faulty: Furthermore, Mr. Wright I stated that the lining of the tank was an extra and the company would be paid for this work.
