OF Committee on new Market House
The committee on Market House would re-
| spectfully report that they consider all the
bids for the Market House entirely too high
| and above our appropriation. We return and
reject all bids for the construction of said
Market House.
We respectfully recommend the following
chang. in the plans of the building:
The basement story to be IL feet instead of
IL feet.
No area walls around the building except in
front of windows, doors, and stairways to base
ment.
Foundation walls to start on top of rocks;
footings omitted.
Sill courses between window sill on first and
second story to be brick instead of cut stone,
/ and belt over first story windows brick instead
Cut stone between second story window caps
chaged to brick.
| All carved caps, brackets, cornice and plain
| stone in pilasters to main entrance changed to
brick and galvanized iron.
Pilasters in large windows on St. Peter and
Wabashsw streets changed to brick and iron.
Cap stones to all pilasters in second story
| changed to brick.
The first story fifteen feet high-instead of
| fifteen feet six inches. The sash and doors in
partitions to butchers stalls to be omitted.
Second story double flooring one inch pine
| in place of double thick oak and pine Flag

These changes will lessen the cost from ten
to eleven Thousand dollars, without material
damage to the building. The brick trimmings
will not make Is grand and imposing finish
as cut stone.
| We are like the tailors, must cut our cloth
according to our means. We believe with these
changes in the plans, and longer time to COM
plete in building will bring the cost of con-
struction within our limit.
We would ask that the work be readvertised
until May 20th, our next regular meeting, to
let the excavation, foundation walls and brick
lining; also the door-frames and joist in place
the sewerage and drill holes. All to be corr.
pleted this fall, the contractor taking the sur.
plus stone and the old brick building.
The brick walls to be put up in the spring
and completed by June Is, 1880, and the build
ing completed and finished by Oct. Is, 1880
We believe by giving this time, it will make 8
difference of Is to 20 per cent under the bids
last received for the same work.
