Mr. Re referred to the minutes of October 15, stating he has- the letter the sel- ectmen had wanted to send to the contractor.

Ellis stated the site i s workable as far as the contractor is concerned, whose main concern is to try to get the building up rather than the site work, The site would only be messed up with the work to be dune. As soon as the roof Is on and the building closed up, thea the site work will be completed Mr. Re stated the bulldozer was gone at 5:00 this morning and Mr. Cartier was unhappy with the site -contractor as he would like the front of the bu i l d i,ng cleaned up for the gas trap In reply to Mr. Re's question of concrete testing, Ellis replied when thirty days are up the curve is flattened off. If the sample core proves it is 2900-3000, it will be too low, but will support the building. He estimated a saving of 500-750.00. The jobsite was requested to notify the architect when they were going to core, so a structural engineer could be. present to view the aggregate, ghat position it is in, whether mixed properly, air holes,, etc. The structural engineer will advise where and how to take the sample core.
