Dear Sir;
Sometime ago Mr. Jac, J. Quinn oallea at tap cff ice ro-
aarding oompletion of their storm sewer contract Sr. 60-A. Their
work is ncw ocmple ted with the exception of that pert of the storm
sewer which enters the pump house. They are asking permission to
hold up an this unfinished portion until suah time as the house and
pumpe are inetalled, and to be paid at least a part cf their retain -
id percentage cn finished work.
I asked Mr. Quinn to give un a letter covering what he
wanted and proposed to do, and I attach hereto ceps- of the letter
which he furnished.
I see no reason why we should not comply with Mr.. Quinn
request in this, as we held bend far the completion ef the wcrk,
which bond is in force; and it will probably work cut better to all
parties if this part of the sower is constructed at the same time
-the exoavaticn is made for the pump station.
What reply shall we make tc Mr. Quinn?
Y curs very truly,
