I WOULD ADVANCE CASE. Contractor John Hunter, in charge f constructing the local high school, stated today that the completion of the brick work was being delayed on ccount of inability to secure brick masons. The lacli ot material wnicu held back this part of the work until last week is overcome, but the re mainder of the outside walls cannot rise until he has met the new defi ciency in the number of men. On December 10, the building, ac cording to the contract, is to be filir ished. There is little probability, however, that the structure can be completed before the end of three months. This makes it possible for the school district to receive a pen alty of $20 a day during the progress of the construction after the date specified in the contract. According to members of tne school board, this money will prob ably be withheld from the contrac tor, although little mention Is made of the matter at the present time. In the event tho money Is actually wllliheld, it is believed Mr. Hunter will attempt to start legal proceed ings, with (ho result that serious complications may arise. There are vet several weeks before tlie date mentioned arrives and in the mean time some new form of settlement may he devised. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.
