Brady Construction Company a five year maintenance -bond in the amount of $14,150.00 with the Aetna Accident & Liability Company as Surety covering the maintenance of the sheet asphalt pavement to be constructed by the W. B. Brady Construction Company on Eddy Street from Jefferson Boulevard to Mishawaka Ave. and Mishawaka Avenue from Eddy Street to the centfr °of 19th., Street in the City of South Bend, Ind Iana. his bond was filed on the same day that the construction, bond in the amount of $75, 000.00 was -furnished the W. B. Brady Construction. Company. he maintenance bond was to become effective on the date of the acceptance of the completed pavement and run five years from that date. The pavement itself was never completed, and the maintenance bond is therefore of no effect and the same was never accepted or approved by the City, and we would like to have the bond returned for cancellation. Yours very truly, GELTZ & DUNNAH00, Wig, -'TS, Agent.
