 PRIVATE LAWS-CHS. 174, 177-JUNE 7, 1949 [63 STAT. Angeles, California, the sum of $9,000. Such sum represents the loss sustained by Mr. Keith with respect to a contract entered into with the Federal Works Agency in 1944 for the construction of the Frontier Elementary School in San Diego, California. An error in transposing estimate figures to determine bid resulted in contracts drawn up for a sum lower than had been intended by the contractor. However, the correct sum of the bid was much lower than that submitted by any other contractor on this project: Provided,That no part of the amount appropriated in this Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any contract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000. Approved June 7, 1949.
