They constitute themselves the sole judges as to time. They enforce their decisions by refusal to pay any money until the unfortunate contractor, pressed by his sub- contractors and workmen, agrees to give a clean receipt in full of all claims for such amount as the Engineer in charge of the particular work thinks fit to award. If a contractor is troublesome, he is punished in various ways. His tenders are rejected; his material found fault with; his workpeople harried; the terms of his contract most strictly enforced, while others, more obedient and more obsequious, are let off; and when he complains and appeals to the Governor for redress, there is no investigation, and the official reported is asked for his explana- tion only.
