Hanes stating that he had asked for an appointment at as early a date as possible with ilIr. Philip, Deputy Minister of Public iVorks. in connection with the Colfix coiitract, and that he would notify Mr. Johnson when the date had been arranged. A further letter from liIr. Hanes dated 13th July, was also received in which he stated that the council were responsible for the delay in construction work in June anil July, two of the best months in the year, and the onus for such delay and running the work into the wet season rested with them. He reviewed the cir- cumstances under which the council had raised some $85,000 from the proceeds of the sale of $90,000 worth of debentures under bylaw No. 381. He ap- preciated the council's request that he should confer with Mr. Philip and the contractor's eng- ineer, Mr. Johnson, to try and agree on the Colfix specifica- tions. Mr. Hanes agreed that the specifications were not com- plete as submitted, but he stated that it was not within the ethics of professional engineering for iAIr. Philip or himself in their po- sitions to assist the contractor's engineer to alter, change, add to or take away from the specifi- cations of the tenderer when once submitted or when under consideration with other tenders. Their meeting would no doubt be of a ver formal and pleasant nature. Both letters were ordered laid over. ................. 3 Tins for per sack....................... ...2 for ..3 for .......... 2 Tins for 3 pkgs. for iver 1~ THiS )S tRUE, THO lY SOUNDS FUNNY- SBST MEATS CosT THE LEO,sT oF HONEY Government Inspected 5Ieat D.

He stated that the control of onstruction and maintenance ac- cording to statute rested entire- ly with the municipality. He did not think the department should meddle with details of specifica- tions nor did he think it ethical for him to do so under the cir- cumstances. He would gladly co-operate, however, and give any help he could to help mat- ters forward to a definite con- clusion and would be pleased to place their recommendations be- fore the minister.
