Content description
Newport.
Bold to Roberts: he met Mr Aram and Phillips and his partner who had given the estimate for £1460. When told of a far lower estimate, they reduced theirs, but if lime is to be bought from Penarth the cost would still be c.£1400. Mitchell says that if he has to buy Penarth lime his estimate will be nearer £1000 than the original £875. Mitchell is said to be competent. Seys has offered to oversee work daily. He does not think any negotiation possible with the Commissioners of Sewers, but on the next day they meet (17th) Bold proposes to meet all the people who have submitted estimates. If Roberts cannot come, he wishes for precise instructions.
