Mayor Renwick introduced Mr.Kaup wttk the Contractor or Dredging
Company now dredging the new canal thru Edgewater , with the re-
quest that Mr.Kaup explain to all present his position with rel-
ation to the request of the To for the spoils in certain areas
along the Nest Bank if the river. Mr.Kaupp stat en that to place the
spoil along the entire river front would be prohibitive in cost
to the Town , due to the extra expense his Company would be out to
as against the location now provided by the United States Govern-
ment. However that it now developed tha t a continous area was not
the desire of the ToNI , but only in certain areas , and that his
estimate of the cost of placing in the areas described and indi-
cated on the sketch maps , would be about 5 c ea is per yard, and
his estimate on the amount required in those areas designated
would run the cost to approximately Four Thousand Two hundred
Dollars ; this based of course on the total number of yards act-
ually required .
Mayor Renwick stated that it was his idea that possibly a flat
price for the job could be agreed upon.
Mr.E.A.Lembeck , as Chairman of the Waterway Committee of Citizens ,
stated that he would advocate the arranging with theContractor
for the work on a flat price basis for all the area involved , if
possible.
Mr.Kaupp stated that it would be possible to secure governnert
check on quantity furnished , but that the job would come higher
that way. Asked as to the specific amount he stated laths figures
were estimated, that until the actual area was shown him and he
had an onportunity to figure his cost that he would not be able
to name a flat price , that the Fourthousand Two Hundred Dollar
figure was an estimate .
Mayor Renwick, asked Mr.Kaupp if after he had made a study of the
area , if he would then be willing to accept the job on a flat
price basis . Mr.Kaupp replied that he would go over the area
with Engineer Fee and determine just what portion cf work he
could give us and could not name a definate once till this was
done. Asked what terns he would require he stated he would accept
10 percent of total cost to be naid in 30 days , and the balance
in 60 or 90 days .
r
A general discussion as to location resulted in the infor-
mation that the Town would not place the spoils along any
property where the owner of the nrmnerty objected, there
having aria on some objections for various reasons .
