Description

APPEAL from the Court of Claims. On the ninth day of July, 1863, Charles W. McCord entered into a written contract for building at St. Louis an iron-clad steam-battery, which was built and delivered, and was called the 'Etlah.' Complete specifications for its construction were part of the contract; and the United States agreed to pay for the battery the sum of $386,000. The contract also provided tha the Navy Department might make alterations and additions to the plans and specifications at any time during the progress of the work, as it might deem necessary and proper, and should pay any extra expense caused by such changes, at fair and reasonable rates, to be determined when the changes were directed to be made. It was also agreed that the battery should be completed and delivered within eight months from the 24th of June, 1863, and that for every month that the delivery might be made earlier than that time McCord should receive $4,500, and for every month later he should pay a like sum.
