Mr. Donlin informed me that he was calling about the ten (10) tickets tie had received in the mail for violations on Big Island that had not been corrected. I explained that in the meeting an agreement had been made to have the electrical fuse boxes and smoke detectors corrected by Thursday, September 8, 1984. Since the agreement was not upheld, the correction orders were to be enforced.
