J Recommendation that the offer of Muiiitis & Palm, contractors, to complete com-plete the covering of tho city canal this year and accept payment next year, with interest, will do mado to tho city commission Monday night by Richard P. Morris, street commissioner. Muny petitions for the covering of j the canal the entire distance which it runs through the city have boon received by tho commission in recont months, i but owing to financial limitations it was decided to do but one-half tho work j this year and tho remainder next year, i Mullins & Palm wero given thc contract I for tho first half. They havo Completed I their contract, but inasmuch as their machinery is on the ground, they havo j offered to do next year's work now, ! provided payment is made by February 1, 1915. t To accept this offer would cost the city only SlnO interest, it is said, and j the advantngo of having the improvement improve-ment completed this year would well overbalance tnat amount, it is believed. |
