In construction work, the city re-
quires contractors to post perform-
ance bonds in full amount of the oon-
tract obligation. In addition, stats
law requires the contractor to post a
statutory bond.
Liability ‘Scattered*
These bonds are underwritten by
surety companies, who then often seek
to ‘‘scatter*’ the liability between
numerous other companies by re-ln-
surtng the bond obligation.
Moat outstanding example of the
manner in which re-insurance phases
of the bonds operate was provided
several years ago when it was found
that original surety bond writers for
Ray M. Scruggs, former school dis-
trict treasurer, had scattered their
own company liabilities, placing much
of it with Lloyds in London.
