do not agree with measurements pre-
scribed in said first requirement..
Fifth-The contractor has been repeated
Iy directed by the Chief Engineer and by
the surveyor in charge and by the inspec1
tor in charge to Immediately remove paw
ding stones that are culls and not in ac-
cordance with the speciicaI,ons, and fur
nish paving stones c~onfcrlnabie thereto,
but said contractor has wllfully neglected
to carry out said directions nor has ne at
tempted so to do.
I submit that the violations as above set
out show an urgent NECESSITY Tor I'M
mediate action by your Honorable BODY
in the premises; the paving is about one
eighth completed and the PAYERS having
used blocks that fulfill tire requirements
of the specifications, can do no more paw
ing until The culled blocks are carted from
off the line of the improvement and
blocks substituted therefor ~conformable
to the specifications, while the fact that
pipes on the line Of the Improvement be in
places very near the Sub-gTade of the
street and the exposed condition of tho
unpaved sections thereof subject them to
render buildings which they supply liable
10 damage by fire and flood, makes 1t
positively necessary hat the paving be
completed throughout within the present
week.
Therefore, in view of the state of
affairs as regards this Improvement, /
honorable body, under the power vested
in you by the fourth provision Of the
contract, do notify the contractor to i'm
mediately discontinue that part of the
work under the contract and specifica-
tons relating to the furnishing of proper
paving blocks for the paving of the car
riageway from curb to curb throughout
the entire length of the improvement,
necessary measures to furnish, as soon
as possible, proper paving blocks, by en-
ploying the necessary laborers to Gull the
paving blocks yet unculled, already on
the line of the iTNnrnVamPHf and carts.
ETC., necessary to remove the blocks so
cuiled, and by furnishing enough blocks
conforming to the specifications to replace
the said culled blocks so removed, and
by constructing two ~ receiving basins
end one a. nlanhole; the expense there
by incurred to be charged as in said
provision provided to Thomas f. McCabe,
Respectfully submitted,
L.. D. FOWLER.
