LOWER HUTT GAS WORKS. By Telegraph.—Press Association, Wellington, Sept. 11. Some months ago the Lower Hutt Borough Council reversed the policy under which the new gasworks were to be built. The question was intensively debated and was settled by a Mayoral election. To-day, Mr. Albert Ford, consulting engineer, who drew up the scheme for the works, proceeded, against the council for. the sum of £975 as payment due under the alleged contract, by way of commission on the works and ’£looo damages. The defence was that the contract was. not binding in law, and that Mr. Ford had never prepared complete plans and specifications. The first contention was not relied upon, and liability was admitted to the extent of £3OO, which was paid into court.
