The mayor stated the meeting had been called for the purpose of discussing
H street improvements, and. the 1920 Budget.
Mr. Smith of the contractors in charge of the street work was present and
stated that he Mould be unable to complete his contract unless he could obtain
relief in a financial way, as well as an extension in time in which to fulfill
'I their obligations -to the town, and unless such action was taken immediately he
was through. He was -advised that the Council could make no change in the terms
of the contract without first obtaining legal advice. However, they had no
objection to granting a reasonable extension of time if necessary. Mr. Smith
stated that they were faced by a.serious condition, in that the bluff where it was
:intended to obtain material for making the necessary fills had proved to be solid
h rock, and t hat the price per yard for which they had taken the contract for this
,.work would not permit them to do the work without losing considerable money. After;
":quite a. lengthy discussion in which the matter was looked into from every angle,
ji Mr. Lutz having arrived in the meantime, made the suggestion that his family had
property located near the bluff in question which might prove a, solution of the
I question. Accordingly, Mrs .41. M. Lutz was invited into the Council Chamber where,
!;after some discussion; she gave her consent to the taking of material suitable for
1 the purpose from the Lutz property under suitable supervision and direction. :fir.
