BUILDER OF ACADEMY ' AT Ml ANGEL FILES SUIT AGAINST SISTERS Disagreement Over Amount of Large Freight, Bill Paid on Material One of Causes. ORAL CONTRACT DISPUTED Constructor AUrs Bndlctln So ciety Sid Wot Fay for Changes Which WiV Ordered. Tn a suit fllpd in the State Circuit court to recover J19.453.70 from the Benedictine Hlstern for work and ma terials 'In connection with the con struction of Mt. AnRei- academy, Bd waroVKIlfruther. a contractor, alleges, among other thtngs, that the sisters got half freight rates from the South ern t'aclflc, on materials shipped to Mt. AriROl, and charged him the full rate. This he declares amounted to an overcharge of half the rate against him. ' He explains that the materials were t6 be supplied to the sisters by tho material men f. o . b. Mt. Angel. On presentation of his freight receipts showing payment of the half rate, the materlHl man, he asserts, refunded him only the amount called for by the receipts. When ho presented his bills to the Misters, however, he charges that th sisters deducted the full freight rate. The freight bill he asserts to taled shout $2,700 but the sisters charged him in the neighborhood of 15400. The complaint' alleges that the. sis ters, who are an Incorporation, secured the rate on the grounds that the organ isation is a charitable- Institution. The complainant asserts the institution is not charitable inasmuch as -tuition is el urged pupils and therefore under the law the rate secured was not legal. Ten thousand dollars of the amount his seeks to recover Is for materials in) cxpense Incident- to the perfor mances of duties which fall usually on a general contractor, he says, and which were unprovided for in his con tract. In thrW connection, he says, Mb contract called for the brick ma sonry and plastering work only, but oi the definite promise of the Mother Agatha, the sister superior, arid others l:i authority, to the effect that he would be, amply paid, he performed the dutleg of general contractor as well. When he made demands for his money, the complaint asserts, he was peld $24,602.03. leaving him 6till due tinder his written contracts something like $1000. This amount was withelo. by the sisters, he says, to meet some leln. ills demand for expenses in cident to general contracting work were refused, he charges. . Arbitration was agreed on but this came to naught and the present suit is a result.
