Gentlemen:
I wish to report the start of: the work on the Bay Road, of installing
the 8" water main from the Glens Falls City Line northerly to the plant
of the. U.S. Catheter and Instrument, Co., by the Contractor.
log
Field operations were started last Monday and despite the unfavor -
able weather conditions and the encountering of underground struct-
ures, the exact location of which were not known, it would seem to
me that the contractor had made favorable progress he having exca -
vated and layed the main as far northerly as Garrison Road including
the installation of the by-pass piping.
As might be expected with the commencement of a job and getting things
organized, the inspection world has consumed about 4 days , or 32 hrs. ,
of attention on my part.
Bespectfully submitted by
Ernest L.H. Meyer E.-P.E.
