the following: . .
(1) The drawings were completed and available
for council to obs\')rve.

least another week,
(3) Tenders for the pumping station will be
opened next Monday.
(4) Explained tha'):; 9utters to be use.d in the
removal of a portion of the pipe, will have to
be rented from the U.S. and deliv\'lred by air,
Mayor Nisbet suggested that Mr. Murray inter-
view. Mr. Huffman immediately and pin him down,
as to when he will be able to commence with the
work,
The general feeling of council was'that another
firm be hireQ. to complete the project, however,
very few companies have the machinery for this.
type of work.
Councillor Sinclair stated that last July he
supported Mr. ~urr~y 1 s request for another.engin-
eer to assist him in the,pumphouse at a cost not
to exceed $500, Mr. Sinclair then asked Mr. Murray
the ~eason for the delay,
Mr. Murray replied that consulting engineers _
Proctor & Redfern were. immediately on the job ·",o
assist him in the base for the pump, and their
fee was under the $500, ,
Mr. Murray explained the error in the piping,
and the work that had to be done to correct it.
