signed by former Contractor Marshall
who, from May, II 10, TO the time that
he was forced out Of the construction
work, dumped between four and i've
thousand tons of rock from the Waia'

tractor has kept up the averages since
then from this particular quarry but

In all, up to May 81, the present con
tractor has dumped from the Waiakea
quarry 23,S09 tons, while he has also
placed 1926 tons from the Waipio
