The agreement provides for selling city-owned land at the Regina Street site to CN Realty, and sharing the costs of the recent coal-tar cleanup. The signing of the document, which ran to 10 pages and four schedules, tookplace following a brief discussion and the reading of excerpts from thereports of two auditors.

That is not to say the city would be found liable. but it could be.
