in accordance with the regulation

Dear Sir

Your letter of the 12 inst
is received. We have obtained the
estimates of two Stone workers, who
give the following estimates viz:
R. Sands of Mt. Auburn estimates the
cost of a new stone to exactly replace
the old one at $80.00 and the cost of
redowelling the other two at $5.00 each.

Alex^r McDonald same Post office, estimates
the cost of a new stone @ $100.00 & redowel-
ling the others at $5.00 each in connection with
the new stone or $8.00 each if the new stone
is not put up. I would suggest that
any further communications be addressed
to either of these parties as the Corporation
does no work of the kind.

Very Respectfully James W Lovering Supt.
per Childs.

These parties also report, that it is impossible to mend the broken stone
