quire extra material for the road in order to be able to get in and out

Mr. Horstkotte asked if the schedule for coapletion presented was
predicated upon the internal aethod of repair to joint. 245 to 261.
,...,
Mr. Miller stated it was.
. ;
When asked by Mr. Horstkotte if this lIethod was not approved, would
the completion schedule still hold, Mr. Miller replied that it would: be
impossible to state a completion time.
, Mr. Horstkotte reviewed the details of internal collars, stating that
this method would be unacceptable because of not having strength or flexi-
bilitŸ and would reduce the future hydraulic capacity of the line by 25
percent.

by Member Roeme~, seconded by Member Salfingere, that all claio for extra
work by M. Miller Co. be denied and that continued consideration of proposals
