<br />rrHeretofore the Director of Public Service of the City instructed Floyd
<br />G. Browne and Associates, consulting engineers, to dismiss L. K. McLean,
<br />resident inspector (mechanical) from the payroll, as in the opinion of the
<br />Director of Public Service his services were no longer necessary and
<br />constituted an unreasonable expenditure of public funds. In arriving at this
<br />conclusion the Director of Public Service stated that there was no longer
<br />any substantial amount of word to be performed at the plant, requiring a
<br />mechanical inspector to be on duty, that the plant was substantially completed
<br />with the exception of exterior work to be completed when weather permitted
<br />and that the report of Floyd G. Browne and Associates, consulting engineers,
<br />that there remained in excess of 20% of work to be performed by the contractor
<br />was incorrect and untrue.
<br />The consulting engineers further reported that in their opinion the
<br />retention of said mechanical inspector would not be needed for more than the
<br />next 60 days and that his retention for 60 days represented an expenditure
<br />of approximately $3,000.00.
