A (2) 25
Hon. C. T.
I do not understand this. The contract was signed on 7/3/29 to be completed within 6 months (vide D.P.W's. minute of 18.3.29 above). In his minute of 5.2.31 the D.P.W. states that the date due for completion was 7/9/30 and calculates the fine on this basis.
Surely there is a mistake somewhere of one whole year.
I do not think the security should be released until this point is cleared up.

Hon. D.P.W.
Please explain. The security has already been released.

Paragraph 2 of my minute should read "The date due for completion was 7/9/29" but it was not until 20/10/30 that the work was satisfactorily completed. For the reasons given in the minute above referred to only a nominal fine was inflicted.
