stdts bonds on L.I.D.N.o.50 and51 Contracts; the contracts should have been
completed bu February 1st, 1941. The Government having taken their men to the
Airport before eompleteing the labor part of the contract, it left the City

pay the premiums ($5,,00 on each contract).and charge them to L.I..D No.50 and5l.
