I am lead to believe that despite the clear fact our company bid on park mercury deposit is the more favorable to the City 'Treasury you Committee is critical of our financial statement and isposed to reject for that reason. It would appear to us that any apprehension you might have can 'be fully met by terms of performance bond. However in an effort to meet your presumed objections we have proposed a working arrangement with j Messrs. Piggott and Dineley to support our bid with their full finances. I understand Piggott will confirm this arrangement in personal represent- ations to your committee. Should you have any question respectfully re-, z quest privilege of further hearing and discussion.

R. L. Dineley, Consolidated Industries of Calif.

Mr. Dinely, who was in the audience, agreed to meet with the Committee Wednesday, October 26th, at 4 p.m. Councilman Granger commented on the survey recently made by the Engineering Department and it appears that from their report that the amount of material removed from City property is approximately that indicated in the report of Francis H. Frederick, mining ' geologist, or approximately 145 tons. It would appear that the amount offered by Mr. Oddstad, Jr., of 0500.00 is a fair settlement, and Councilman Granger then moved that i the amount be accepted as full settlement, seconded by Councilman Spillers and carried.
