ago, and gives the National a very interesting account of Yokohama, from
which we take the following: “There

require a bond of every contractor in a
sufficient sum to cover all expenses for
wages or material, or to withhold a
certain part of the contract price in order to protect themselves against claims
that may be brought against them un
