A delegate from our Engineer's office would be attending and he requested Mr. Amendola to also attend, re sig- nalization. He said there was a pole installed for the High- land/SOM signal. He questioned Mr. Hovancsek as well as Mr. Avery on the inability of these contracts being finished on their target date. Can't a penalty clause be inserted? Mr. Hovancsek commented that in reference to signalization, it's difficult since the suppliers are at fault.
