1. Shortage in payment is eliminated that might occur when counting large sums of money in many small parcels and in odd amounts. 2. It is dangerous to keep a large sum of money available in the temporary quarters that circumstances require the contractor to keep, and where no vault is available for safe keeping. 3. Should it become necessary to dismiss a worker, it would be very awkward and inconvenient to have cash on the job site to cover such contingencies. 4.
