thereon by the Council shall bs final and binding. If delay
is cause3 by specific orders given by the Engineers to stop
work, or by the performance of extra work, or by the failure
of the City to provide material or necessary instructions for
carrying on the work, then such delay will entitle the
Contractor to an equivalent extension of time, his application
for which shall, however, be subject to the approval of the
City Council; and no such extension of time shall release tne

obligations hereunder which shall remain in full force until
