that Mr. Caldwell, the project supervisor, had broached the matter to the Steering Committee and had
requested that the present maximum amounts be increased by $3,000. on the Charles W. Jenkins' contract
for final grading and shaping and by ¢7,000. on the Ralph A. Rogers' contract for equipmeut rental.
This would result in said maximum amounts then being ¢11,000. for the Jenkins' contract end $37,000.
for the Rogers' contract. Mr. Weller thereupon requested the contract amounts be increased accordingly.

additional costs would be offset by savings in other phases of the construction and that the project
was still within the over-all estimated cost.
