Conditions of Tender and General Conditions of Contract for Civil Engineering Works.— During the year the Committee recommended this standard code for adoption as a New Zealand standard specification. The standard code contains some seventy comprehensive clauses, sot out in.proper sequence and precise terms, which define the responsibilities of the parties to a contract. It will have the advantage of avoiding the loss of time, and the consequent economic loss, involved in the preparation of independent general conditions for each and every contract, and the necessity for the parties concerned to interpret and work to the same or similar conditions, expressed in different terminology and sequence. Instead, the standard code will permit contracts to be negotiated and completed according to an established, uniform set of general conditions, which can be cited and referred to in lieu of being stated verbatim in every case.—Standard Council Report.
