Home My WebLink About00420t i March Dear Mr. Christian: I had a conference with the Department and the Attorney General's Office, and the opinion seems to be that the question of putting a new pipe line into City Lake is a matter. of Administration discretion, and so wired the Mayor today. As to whether or not you pay all or any part of the $6522.85, according to letter submitted by Mr. Baer, it all depends upon whether or not they are entitled to it, and in no event could work be paid for twice. You are responsible on your bond for illegal expenditure, and you have a right to be., convinced to your own satisfaction as to the legality. If you are not entirely satisfied, you have the right to refuse until you are directed to pay by Court order. Anything he is legally entitled to under the contract you can of course pay. Yours truly, (Signed) Albert Helander St. Exam. 2108 No. Lawrence Ave., Tacoma, Wash.' Said communication was ordered filed.
