The Ford people at once removed sucn
Of the material as was not clearly un-
der the specifications from the grounds

work will continue. Mr. Allen objected
to the material used and the manner OF
inspection which was not according to
the specifications OF the contract under
which they were working. While the
proportions of stone and sand might
have been approximately correct it was
admitted that the sand was too coarse,
containing too much stone and the stone
or screened gravel was too fine or con-
tanned too much gravel.
The work has been delayed by the
