and
was
told
that
the
pro-i

government
needed
dirt
for:

Court

and
had
arranged
to
secure
it
from
I
he
contractors
without
cost
to
them
except
for
the
hauling

they
did
themselves.
The
tools
us-1
ed
by
the
contractors
were
not
In
use
by
the
department
and
were
being
charged
to
the
contractors.
George

complained
that
he
had
figured
on

and
he
did
not
consider
the

W.

said
he
had
found
the

as
Mr.
Patmorc
that
the
provincial
government
had
taken
a
quantity
of
the
earth
whicn
it
needed.
They
had
paid
nothing
for
this,
all
they
did
was
to

It.
John

said
that
his
firm
had
secured
the
contract
by
figur

on

They
paid
for
any
equipment
they
used.
So
far
as
the
dirt
was
concerned
the
government
was
alad
to
have
It.
The
cost
to
