said that Cell Langfitt is to be with himtoi:,orrcW and will go over the matter and adViee
him and he hoped to be able to ,draw the specifications in a short time.
Counoiiman Ralston stated that the oity attorney had advised him that bond issue
waaa...a be daa1atted en a(..ver..ber 17tn anu that Mr. Ratnualph thinks he oan have the plans
and el eclfioationa ready for bids on the 20th, and that thirty days will be suff.Olent
to allow for the bias to be received, about DeoemCer 2Oth, and that he thought the
suc„esaful o,ntraotor eh_uid have thirty days to get hie equipment here so'the:t if all
aces wall work s:h_uid oa started on ti,e ohannel luring the latter part of January, and
teat .. Lile '.r. Rrin .clph is here he would like to have council decide another matter:
Tnat it will be neoeseary to ,r.ove about a minion yards of sand and apprcximately
three hundred fifty thouearu yards of rook, that one dredge, of nourse, would do the
'•ork in t-ioe the time of two dredges, and if the Engineer does not put a progress limit
in the speciiie:.tions a dredging oemnany could come In .with one wred`e and drag the work
ado n • laaetir.itely, but in order t. eilair.ate that Mr. Randolph has suggested that a
proarese esti.ate be inserted in thespecifioa*,ions calling for a monthly minimum of
thirty thh_usand ya.r,:s of rook and one hundred thousand yards of sand, which should move'
ali material in ah.ut ten aonthe; teat possibly there will be a alight inorease in the
post ,f raailrin, tee dredges, out thought that every one would be willing that this
goat oe ,oaia rather than wait an a,iuitional year for the oompletion of the work. Mr.
Randolph atdtad teat if there is a.,aan with equipment on hand already it will not change
the price at all, but if ;:e .:as to buy tae slui, ment he will bid a little higher, and in
his o,.:inien the low bidder will ,e the .can witi equi_.ment, and in all probability the
oity will not have to pay any excess.' The excess will amount to probably 3/40 on the
sand and 10 on rook.
Cn..ir.::an Eri 1 u asLsea the Engineer if he didn't think it would be well to in-
eorporate a liait as suggested by ::r. Ralston. .1r. Randolph said he thought it would be
well to do so.

of rook an.: _ne hundred t:. aisdna yards of sand, beginning thirty days after the date of
the o;ntraet. Engineer Pa:i:ol,,h stated that that would not be unreasonable and that in
