Description

"Fairy Hill Roads.

I have drawn the contract and have written Mr. Barton to call to sign it tomorrow morning. I will take the other part with me to Newport on Saturday on the chance of meeting you and so obtaining your signature thereto. I have made the contract out for the amount of the revised tender, and I propose to meet the difficulty as to the price by omitting in the execution of the works that part which relates to the curbing and channelling of the Ryde Road extension, the cost of which will be deducted from the final certificate. The matter can then be explained to the Chief Clerk, when application for payment is made to him. As regards the payments to be made to the contractor from time to time, I think I can personally meet them without inconvenience and so avoid the necessity of an application to the Bank. I am glad to say that I have at last received the draft conveyance from the solicitors to Mitchell's trustees, which I have approved and they have now my draft conveyance to yourself under consideration. This matter, therefore, will very shortly be completed."
