Manager Coffey presented the matter of back-filling in ditches dug by ITtili -1 ties and Contractors on City property, stating that in the past, it had been the policy to allow the said Contractors and Utilities to make their own back-fills and paving but that because of the fact that proper methods had mai been used, it had been necessary 1� Igor the City to make numerous repairs on these jobs , therefor it was his recommenda- tion that the Ctty adopt the policy of having all back-fills and paving done by City ' ' crews under the supervision of the Street Superintendant and the Contractors and Utilill ties be billed on a material and labor cost basis.
