Milwaukee trip as Mrs Gouwens visits relatives
Twenty years ago Mrs N Gouwens visits relatives in Milwaukee. Two contracts were under consideration. The first was agreed between the board and the contractor but no second contract was signed. The contractor continued to work until completion. An inspector found defects including a second hand transformer and insufficient grounding wires. The contractor refused to heed the report claiming lines were complete. The board planned changes and deductions for work beyond contract. Although unsigned, the contract sum was the amount the contractor accepted. End of week noted.
