BOARD NOT SATISFIED
Progress Of Contract
(From Our Own Reporter) TIMARU, March 27.
A recommendation that the board express its disapproval at the rate of progress with the contract for meat loaders, and that the contractor be advised that unless there was a substantial improvement the board intended to recover liquidated damages, was adopted after a discussion in committee at the monthly meeting of the Timaru Harbour Board.
The chairman (Mr E. W. D. Unwin) said in his report that present indications were that the No. 1 loader would not be commissioned before the third week in April because modifications of the design had been found necessary. The second loader should be commissioned about the end of May, and the third and fourth before the end of June.
The general conditions of contract provide that from February 1 the contractor is liable to pay £lOO a week, or such lesser sum deemed applicable, on completion of individual loaders, as liquidated damages for delays.
