mittee met with the Mayor in regard to
repairing the Art Gallery, and called for
bids from the principal roofers, but the
bids ran up to Sl,400 and $500. They
had been informed, however. that for
about 500 the roof could be repaired so
that it would do very well this winter.
AT this time of year to put on a new roof
would cost more than it would earlier in
the season.
p. S. Lawson stated that the expend-
iture of that amount would make the
roof secure for the winter.
Devine moved that the Building Com
mittee be authorized TO expend $l25 for
repairs.
Architect Seadler reported that the
three bids received were respectively
81 400, 81 ,427 and 81, ,544. The latter bid
was the only one. he thought, that COM
piled with the specifications, and the bid
der agreed, If not able TO make repairs,
TO keep the roof in repair during the
winter. The roof has been repaired until
1t is almost beyond further repairs. The
new roof can be constructed in sections.
Bragg said all the roofers who had been
asked to bid were afraid to undertake to
put on a new roof this winter, and he
thought it would be best before taking
further action to refuse the bids already
made.
The motion Of Devine, reduced by HIM
self to 500, was then carried.
The following communications were
received from the Mayor:
