Full

For
Surfacing
of
Cow
Bay
Road
On
recommendation
of
the
Board
of
Works,
the
city
council
decided
last
night
to
request
the
attorney-
;
general
for
permission
to
sue
the
provincial
government
for
a
balance
due
In
connection
with
the
surfacing
of
Cow
Bay
road,
which
work
was
carried
out
In
November,
1927.
Mayor
McMordle,
In
speaking
to
the
report,
explained
to
the
councU
that
the
account
had
been
hanging
fire
for
some
eighteen
months.
The
city
had
carried
out
the
work
at
the
request
ot
the
provincial
public
works
department
which
did
not
have
the
necessary
tarvla
equipment.
He
had
understood
following
an
Interview
several
months
ago
with
the
minister
of
public
works
that
the
government
was
willing
to
pay
the
account
In
full.
However,
t,iic

iiau

a
viicbh
w
$4666,
which
was
some
$1209
short
of
the
total
amount.
The
govern-
i
ment
had
claimed
thatlt
considered
1
the
amount
It
had
sent
fair
pay
ment
tor
the
work.
The
mayor
took
;
tne
stand
tnat
mere
was
no
reason
why
the
city
should
do
work
at
the
request
of
the
government
and
then
not
be
paid
the
full
cost
of
that
work.
It
was
true
the
Job
had
been
a
rather
expensive
one
due
to
the
wet
weather
prevailing
while
the
work
was
being
done.
No
charge,
however,
had
ben
asked
for
use
of
the
equipment
of
the
city.
The
council

y
decided
to

recommendation
