that the differences might be adjust

as soon. as possible. Commissioners
Fraley and Gardner appeared to think
that additional time is necessary TO ar.

best TO be done 20 avoid delay and liti

aff0rding time in which to consider the
puzzle further, the reading Of the
plans and specifications was ordered
and for half an hour City Attorney Bass
read the yoluminous typewriter doc

Finally the engineer was ordered %
prepare new specifications. excluding
the street car tracks and one foot on
each side, with a view Of requiring
the traction company TO lay paving con
forming with that laid, according tc
the specifications OF the engineer.
