Contracts Shortened
Limerick No. 1 District Council altered the system governing maintenance and repair contracts for public roads when members decided that future agreements would run for twelve months rather than the four-and-a-half-year term previously used. The decision followed an adjourned quarterly meeting held under the chairmanship of William Noonan and reported on 18 January 1900. Road tenders rejected at an earlier sitting had been referred to Limerick County Council, which declined to consider them and returned the entire question to the District Council. Members were therefore required to reconsider both the tenders and the basis upon which future road work would be awarded.
