He had been told, and it was common rumor on the street, that the reason why Mr. Campbell had not completed his work, was because had been interfered with. Ald.

I A second report from the light, heat and also and power committee contained a re- port from W. BE. MacKay, an expert, |! of Boston, who made an examination | of the tank, and it was finally decided © the clerk should read this re- port. "It read as follows : "In compliance with your request, I have examined the concrete holder tank recently. constructed on Barrack street. Following a study of the specifications, and basing my state- ment upon the visible defects, and upon your description of the con- struction not now visible, it is my opinion that it would be extremely difficult and expensive, ii not impossi- ble, to make it perfectly tight --and-| entirely satisfactory a tank of the ex- isting structure. "1 recommend concrete tank be new tank be built on the present site. If it is decided to build a new tank, 1 further recommend that no further ex- penditure be made in trying to repair the present tank, and that the guide' rails be replaced on the outside ot the paper water-proolmg, to permit the winter use of the holder. Recon- struction of the tank should be begun | at the earliest possible date, in the spring of 1909. I will mail you a de- | tailed report." The discussion continued after reading of this report. Ald. Wgney said the council make that it would be ed in acting on the report. é Ald. Elliott said that the city would De taking hold of the matter in earn- est, should the report be passed. He believed that Myr. Campbell should be | given a chance. Ald. Harty said that before the port was rushed through, the council should give Mr. Campbell a chance to complee the work. Such a step should Be taken, before the city should saddle itself with a law suit. Ald. Henderson agreed with Harty on this point. Ald.
