"extras" of which council was not consulted, Seaforth town council on Mon- day night expressed great dis- satisfaction with the service of the engineering firm in charge of the work. A representative of Graham Reid & Associates was present and also the contractor, Mr. Bentz of BC Construction. The representative admitted two mis- ta'lces had been made by him in preparing specifications, which resulted in most of the higher cost to the town. But, he claim- ed the contract was •on a unit price basis and the town is charged for actual work done. The arguments centred around encasing' the sewer pipe in cement, which had not been provided for in the specifica- tions, and for additional man- holes, and a more costly type of manhole construction having -been adopted by the engineer without notifying the council. Council objected to a bill for extras of nearly $4,000 on an original contract of 47600, which was a fifty.per cent mar- gin of error. Mayor McMaster said the town must raise an extra $8000 on account of these extras, which places the council in an embarrassing position. All these increases were not fair to the town. The contractor had got all the breaks caused by poor man- agement •of the engineers. He felt the engineers should pay for a lot of these increases, in- stead of collecting their fee on the higher amount. The engineering representa- tive claimed he had sent the town certain papers itemizing work. Councillors all were posi- tive no such papers had been re- ceived by them. Mayor McMaster said he was happy council was not doing the whole town, with the type of en- gineering that had been done. Councillor Leslie said the type of manhole had been changed by the engineer with- out consulting or notifying council. t'Why didn't he tell us," Mr. Leslie said, "He must think we are easy to send us a bill like this, over a contract price." Reeve ;Scoins asked why the $40 -one concrete place and yard for 40lower another in the bill. This was ex- plained that the price includes all preliminary work such as building forms. Much of the extra mass con- crete work had been done in the west lane between Market and Goderich streets, amounting to 230 yards. The engineering,: representa- tive said councilKm'adewtt-sound as bad as the highway scandal. He thought council had been told about the extra work.

However he had been ill for three days and could not certify for that period. Mayor McMast- er said he was sure. no concrete was being put under the sewer, twice when he watched during those three days. Councillor Christie asked what would be done if theditch was opened up at one place and no concrete was found. The en- gineer said: "If you are quite certain we will order the con- tractor to open it up." He also offered to inspect the manholes and if any are found faulty the contractor will have to replace them. Councillors wondered what protection they had against fur: ther bills for "extras" being presented. Had the engineer so much power to compel payment. The representative intimated that court action might follow if council refused payment. Reeve Scoins thought the Municipal Board should be in- formed •of the error made by the engineer and his charging the town for it. They might withhold approval of him to other towns. Councillor Leslie suggested. that the committee discuss the matter with town •solicitor Mc- Connell before paying. The com- mittee arranged to meet with Mr. M'c,Connell on Tuesday. Mr. Leslie said the machinery is now here for the disposal plant but not installed. He point- ed out that when changed spe- cifications were needed at the disposal plant the council had been notified and had approved the increase by •a motion of coun- cil. This was quite different from the highhanded action of the engineer on the sever. Finance report: Separate Sc., adv., $900; P. sch., adv., $3000; Salaries: D. H. Wilson '$283.38; H.

THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE Ignorance! "If parents could. appreciate that the chance of one or more children )(or their' neighbor's ohildl'en)--.becoming an alcoholic exceeds the com- bined chance of their develop- ing tuberculosis or poliomyelitis, more interest ht this field would be quickly developed. Read that again! It is not the hysterical pronouncement of a temperance crank. We quote from a recent: publication of the Health League of Canada. Again, "The greatest handicap to effective treatment and prevention of alcohol addic- tion and chronic alcoholism lies in the general public's ignor- ance."-Advt. • NO INCREASE In TIRE PRICES at Canadian Tire 1 Reg.
