We were requested to make an in
vestigation as to whether or not the |
heating plant at the court house is of |
such capacity so that steam pipes |
could be laid from the court house to |
the sheriff'S residence and Jail in order |
to heat the same from the court house. |
We expected to get such information !
from the contractors who were to |
place the central heating plant at the |
county asylum and county home, but
owing to the fire which took place in
the early part of May, the construc-
ton of the central heating plant at
that institution has been put over un
til the erection OF the new building,
and we have been unable to obtain any
figures from competent contractors.
Mr.. Kleinhammer of PlatteVille, who is
member of this Board, has informed
us that he believes he could give us
such information as to whether or not
the court house plant is of such capac-
ity that we could heat the sheriff's res
idence and jail and if so as to the prob
able cost of extending of the plant. We
believe that the Public Property Com
mittee should confer with Mr.. Klein
hammer and obtain such information
as IS possible at this term on this par
ticular matter.
