On motion same was adopted
Report of Mr.. Kleinhammer on heat
ing the Jail and sheriff's residence
from court house heating plant Re
ferred to Committee on County Prop
e"ty.
Lancaster Wis, Oct. 1st. 1913
To the Honorable Chairman of County
Board, Grant County Wisconsin:
In compliance with your request I
have inspected the heating plants of
the Grant County Court House and al
so the Grant County Jail in order to
ascertain if it would be advisable to
dispense with the heating plant of the
jail and extend heating main from
the system in the Court House to the
Jail and heat the Jail from the boilers
in the Court House.
/ therefore beg leave to report as
follows tO-wit: The heating plant in
the Jail is insufficient for the work,
the boiler is of such size that it would
furnish heat for the amount of radia-
tion attached thereto under ordinary
circumstances, but 1 find that the radi-
alton is considerable short and there
fore the condensation greater than if
there was a sufficient amount of the
same, and this causes the boiler to be
crowded and the building can not be
heated satisfactorily or economically
as it takes nearly as much coal to heat
the Jail as it does the Court House,
which is out of all proportion. The fuel
bill at the jail should be about enc
half of what it is at present.
In the Court House 1 find that the
present boilers are capable of taking
care Of the building, but would not be
sufficient size to take care of the heat
ing of the jail building in addition to
the Court House.
The idea of heating both buildings
from the same fire room is good as it
also be more economical in the con-
sumption of fuel and necessary labor
to take care of tn plants.
However in order to make the
change, I would advise the following
changes, tOWit: The installing Of two
new boilers in the Court House Of
sufficient size or capacity to easily take
care of both buildings and to carry
a pressure of 80 lbs. per inch, this pres
sure to be reduced to 5 lbs. at the
mains. A flow and return main in prop
er conduit from Court House to Jail
"a receiver and electrical pump at Boil
er House and additional radiation in
jail building. Also that the present
wood platform over and in front of the
boilers in the court house be substitute
ed by an iron, frepro0f platform.
lie COSL Oh the ABOVE changes
estimate at $2,S00.00 complete.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY KLEINHAAIAIER,
Mr.. Carthew. District 4ttCrnev. ne
ing in the room, was called on to ex-
plain the law in relation to depositor-
les Of county moneys.
