regular meeting place at 1880 p. m
for the purpose Of taking certain ac.
tion with regard to Contracts l and
2 of the Waterworks Improvement
Project and to handle any other bust.
ness necessary to be handled. Those
present were Mayor Koch, Council
men Waldhdaus, Hogan, Tissaw

liam.
Mr.. H. M. Walser, representing
Burns & Mcdonnell Engineering Com
pany stated that the work on the
flow line, known as Contracts and
2 is 0. K. That the line is not bur-
! led eighteen inches as required by
specifications, but rather than dig
up the pipe he recommends a deduc-
tion be made on basis of the depth
which it should be buried and the
depth which it actually is buried.
With these provisions he recon-
mended that it be accepted.
On motion of Beeson, seconded by
Waldhaus, the report of the engi-
neers recommending the acceptance
of the flow line constructed by Cook
O'Brien Construction Company un-
der contract for waterworks inn
provements dated April 4, 1926 was
accepted, Provided;
! WHEREAS, the contractor did
agree to construct all trenches Of
such depth as to allow eighteen (18)
inches from top Of pipe to surface of
ground, and
WHEREAS, the engineer having
orally advised this council at this
meeting that in certain portions Of
the flow line as constructed by Cook
O'Brien Construction Company, the
trench as constructed was not of
such depth as to allow eighteen (18)
inches from top Of pipe to surface Of
ground, and;
WHEREAS, the contractor did
agree, for price, to construct trench
of certain depth and the contractor
did construct trench Of less depth.
and it being the sentiment Of this
council that the contractor is not en-
titled to be paid the full agreed price
for the lesser depth Of trench, now;
THEREFORE, the engineer is in
structed by this council to proceed
to determine the actual depth of
trench of trenches as constructed by
the said contractor not Of the agreed
depth, and to prepare and present to
this council his final estimate Of the
work done and materials furnished
and of the amounts due said contrac-
tor under and by virtue Of said con-
tract, and further to show deducted
therefrom, at the unit price per foot
given in the proposal Of said con-
tractor, an amount proportionate to
the difference between the actual
depth of trench as constructed and
the agreed depth of trench as called
for in the specifications covering the
work done, for any and all lengths
of trench in which the depth Of
trench as constructed is not of such
depth as to allow eighteen (18) in
ches from top of pipe to the surface
of ground, and;
That then, and only upon the ac-
ceptance, by the said contractor, of
such proportionate deduction in
price per foot, shall the flow line as
constructed by said contractor in ac-
cordance with the final estimate of
the Engineers and less the amount
of such proportionate deduction as
determined by the engineers, be due
and payable in accordance with the
terms of said contract and the spe-
