was caused by failure to obtain sufficient supply OF
gray granite from Vermont for the lower part Of the
building The Mayor thought that the excuse was not
good one and told the Commissioner with emphasis
that the building must be finished within the period
specified in the contract otherwise he should insist
enforcing the penalty Of 500 day from Dawson d
