Moved by Alderman Baber that inasmuch as certain complications have
.. arisen since the award was made to Murph & Taylor for the construction of an
addition to the Administration Building: at the Airport, wherein WPB has
restricted the use of new lumber for certain parts of the building and demanding
the use of old lumber for which the contractors are compelled to pay a premium
\ to purchase, together with certain other restrictions of the WPB necessitating
other substitutes in the construction thereof, thereby creating an extra cost to
the contractors of approximately $100.00 in order to comply with the specifica—
tions and requirements as set forth by the City Engineer, the Council does here
now amend the contract so as to allow an increase in the contract price not to
exceed an additional sum of $100.00, and further to authorize and order the
pity Clerk to recognize the same in the settlement with Murph & Taylor.
Motion seconded by Alderman Spragins and carried.
Moved by Alderman Hyer that the meeting be adjourned.
Motion seconded by Alderman Spragins and carried.
The Board of Aldemen then adjourned.
READ AND APPROVED this the loth day of April 1944.
