as heretofore reported, each of the
contracts, provides a penalty in case
all of the contract work was not com
pleted on or before the LIST day of Oct
1900. The contractors Abel & Schroe-
der had their work ready for accept
ance on December, 10th, 1900. The
contractors, Gitchell Lubbock Co. and
Cent-alia Hardware Co., had their
work ready for acceptance at about
the same time.
| With reference to the enforcing OF
said penalty your committee would
recommend that the same be not en-
forced, for the reason that the con-
tractors were delayed, and hindered
and ordered to stop work upon the
building at all times when the circuit
court for Wood county was in session,
and otherwise Inconvenience in their
work on account Of the public charaC-
ter of the building.
With reference to the heating appar-
atus your committee would report that
the contract provided that the same is
to be tested at the coolest winter
weather and as yet we have not had
any weather cold enough to test the
same. There are some changes that
will be necessary to be made in the
distribution of radiation but it is
deemed advisable not to make any
changes until we have a good cold
spell SO that the system could be~test-
ed. The Centralia Hardware Com
pauy are ready and anxious to make
such changes in the distribution OF
radiation as your committee require OF
them as soon as we are ready to make
known what changes we want.
Your committee therefore recon-
nendes that they be authorized to &C,
cept said work.
Dated this 11th day of February, A
D. 1901.
