<br />Jointly installing a modern heating system-i~ t~? Court House ~uildlng2 and if agreeable to
<br />ask fo~ bids and then submitthe entire pr~positmon to you for ~pprova±.
<br />
<br /> I have appea~red ~efore the Board of Supervisors of Norfolk County in reference to
<br />the matter and they ur~animously voted that the heating plant be installed in the court house
<br />building to heat the entire b~ilding, including the two cou~t and jury rooms, sheriff's office
<br />and the two county and two city offices. I asked for bids on same, so I could properly place
<br />the proposition before the Board of Supervisors. Attached yen will find five bids, and speci-
<br />fications prepared by the Building Inspector. The total cost of this installation will be~
<br />$2625.00, $215~.00 for heat~r~gplant and $$80.00 for flue and carpenter's work. The Board of
<br />Supervisors, at its meeting today agreed to appropriate $1312.00, their share of this amount,
<br />with the uuderstauding that it is to be operated jointly. As stated in my previous communi-
<br />cation to you, from a ~standpoint of safety and comfort to the oc?u~.am~s cf ~his ~bui~di~n$ and
<br />T~he citize~s at la, ge, I recommend that the~ity Oouuoli appropriate the sum of $1312.00 or
<br />authorize me to proceed with the work at once in view of the approaching winter season. ! might
<br />add that there will be a saving in the cost of fuel in the operation of the proposed heating
<br />plant."
