Commissioner Jeffery .0. Phelps; Jr“,
fixed at $250,000. The government
- also will have complete supervision
over the work and may terminate any
contract at will...
The terms of the contract‘ were
made public todav by the'War De

wording of the agreement is to secure
unnecessary expenditures.
The contractor is to he'pald his ex-
penses and a percentage of their total
amount, out» of which he must meet
his overhead costs. ‘ His profits are
to come from the difference between
this percentage and overhead ex-
pauses. '
The urgency of rapid construction is
indicated in an early paragraph of the
contract" wherein. according to the
wording, the contractor agrees to ‘do
all things "necessary for the construc-
tion and completion otthe work."
