The city desired a performance bodd of about ?7 or amount of contract and $17,500. indemnity bond. Mr. Owens stated that as long as he would be penalized $15.00 per day for delay in completing the work, he believed as a matt of fairness that in figuring date on which the job was to be completed, the time at which received the stress diagrams for the city's engineers should be taken into consideration, It was informally suggested that March 15th be set as the date for completing the raising of the tank, instead of March lot.
