2. Plaintiffs instituted the present action by complaint filed on or about December 10,

Re: Cumberland County - No. 97.6073
Dear Ms. Davies:
In the matter of Shields vs. Concord Builders & Service, Inc. and Peter Bologna, Concord
has agreed to settle by paying the requested $2,200.
Concord plans to commence payment right after Labor Day of the first $550.00, and like
amount every thirty (30) days thereafter until the claim is paid.
At the conclusion, I would expect that you will send a Praecipe to Cumberland County and
mark the case as settled and discontinued.
Very truly yours,

Re: Cumberland County - No. 97-6073
Dear Ms. Davies:
In the matter of Shields vs. Concord Builders & Service, Inc. and Peter Bologna, Concord
has agreed to settle by paying the requested $2,200,
Concord plans to commence payment right after Labor Day of the first $550.00, and like
amount every thirty (30) days thereafter until the claim is paid.
At the conclusion, I would expect that you will send a Praecipe to Cumberland County and
mark the case as settled and discontinued.
Very truly yours,
HANDLER & WIENER
