final report of the construction Of re-

To the Mayor and Council of the City
of ottawa, Illinois.
Gentlemen:
The Oltendorf Construction Com
pany have completed their contract
for the construction of the retaining
wall along the east hill in South OF
tawa. The wall was constructed In
substantial compliance with the plans
and specifications. However, there
|. were one or two minor changes in the
plans, and it was also necessary to
carry the excavation deeper than was
shown on the plans, and because OF
these changes and the deepening of
the footings there was an addition OF
PSI cubic yards of concrete more than
was in the original estimate, and 1t
was, therefore. necessary to shorten
the length of the retaining wall ap'
proximately thirty-seven feet from
that which was contemplated in the
original plano.
The back fill of the retaining wall
has been filed with material excavated
from the First avenue Improvement
by the city,, and the total cost of this
back filling to date has been $535.SO.
The total amount of the work done
by the Oltondorf Construction Com
pany is as follows:
Constructing 665.S Gu. yds, of
concrete in retaining wall,
as per contract ..........$ 16995Ot
Constructing 2S.1 Gu. yds.
extra concrete in footings
and in wall. at $3.50. 49,. 1855
