Port-of-Spain may­or Louis Lee Sing has giv­en those re­spon­si­ble for plas­ter­ing the wall of Lapey­rouse Ceme­tery un­til to­mor­row at 10 am to re­move the plas­ter, oth­er­wise he and his coun­cil­lors will chis­el it off. In a tele­phone in­ter­view yes­ter­day, Lee Sing said he and his coun­cil­lors would take heavy ham­mers and chis­els and what­ev­er else was need­ed to re­move the plas­ter. He said oth­er in­ter­est­ed peo­ple were wel­come to join him.

Lee Sing said he had been un­able to find out who was re­spon­si­ble for plas­ter­ing the wall and the cost of do­ing the job, and those in­volved had un­til Sat­ur­day to let him know who they were. He said ul­ti­mate­ly the city's chief en­gi­neer must be held ac­count­able but the CEO of the cor­po­ra­tion, Winifred David, should pro­vide the an­swers.

On Tues­day, Lee Sing ex­pressed his dis­sat­is­fac­tion over the plas­ter­ing of the wall. He al­so asked who gave per­mis­sion to have the wall plas­tered and how the fund­ing for the project was ob­tained. Calls to the cor­po­ra­tion's chief en­gi­neer and CEO yes­ter­day were un­suc­cess­ful.
