MIILIS ASKED
WORLD’S LARGEST OBSERVATORY
Company Claims Work Is
Done Beyond Contract
GRAND COULEE, Wash . July 26
—(U.R'—A $5,000,000 legal battle be-
tween the federal government and
the Mason - Walsh - Atkinson - Kier
company, former contractor on
Grand Coulee dam. will be fought
■ere and In Washington.
The MWAK company has brought
suit against the U. S bureau of
reclamation for $5,267,273.55 for
work in contends it performed be-
yond its contract to build the
foundation for the dam—the larg-
est in the world.
The case was filed in the U. 8
court of claims In Washington
May 1. In such cases the general
procedure is for the court's five
Judges to appoint a commissioner
to gather facts at public hearings.
An MWAK representative. Don-
ald Nelson, said after returning
from Washington that there were
indications the public hearings
would be held here so government
engineers would not have to go to
the national capital.
Long Hearings Likely
Hearings are expected to require
three months. After they have
been completed, the commissioner
will take his.findings to the court,
which then will hear further legal
arguments before making its de-
rision.
The reclamation bureau must
file an answer to the company's
action by July 18. After that,
hearing dates will be set. IYic Im-
portant claims case is comprised
of 31 separate cause of action.
First, the company asks $770,-
211.20 for allegedly being forced to
remove calcium carbonate, a whit-
ish discoloration, from concrete
shortly after it was poured. This
Is the largest single amount sought.
Other points at issue include:
Whether the bureau refused to
allow MWAK to strip a gravel de- j
posit in accordance with specifica-
tions. The company said it had to |
remove a glacial till with its screen-1
ing plant instead of excavating it. j
The oost for this job is listed at i
$461,443.20. |
