REPORT.
To the Honorable County Board of 81
| perCisOrS-
Gentlemen
We, your committee, to whom was
delegated the duty of investigation as
to the heating system of the Court
House, respectfully report that we
have investigated the matter in con
junction with two of our leading heat
ing contractors, who have advised the
installation of vacuum or vapor syS-
tenn. The vapor system differs some
fvnf fhn
vacuum system, as we are advised. re-
quired a pump to draw the cold air
from the pipes and radiators. Said
pump may be operated by electricity,
steam or water power. The vapor sys-
tenn does not require this pump.
Your committee, together with Chair
man Yule, visited several buildings
equipped with different heating sys-
tens. The first, being that of the
Post Office which is heated with an
under feed boiler and mine run soft
coal is used for fuel.
In the City Hall we und similar
system. We also visited the Grosvenor
Building and the Y M. G. A., which is
heated with vacuum system The
operators of these different plants each
recommend their plant as being salts
factory.
On the 18th of January, 1915. Mr.
Kraft met with the committee at the
Court House and recommended first,
that new chimney be built with 90
inch flue. He told us that our base
ment was too low to install a boiler
sufficient to heat the entire building
and our basement would have to be ex-
cavated about 80 inches. His recon-
mendatiOn was to build a small build
ing to the south of our present build
ing, 10 by 20, in which to install the
new heating plant.
Your committee recommends that il
new building is built that it be built
about 20 by 80 feet, thereby providing
a room for coal bin. Mr.. Kraft recon-
mended the vacuum system and told
the committee that he could use all the
old radiators by installing new valves
in each radiator.
Mr. Sullivan had prepared a blue
print of the Court House and told us
that he had examined thoroughly, the
building with reference to installing a
heating system. He also recommended
a 20-inch chimney fue, but his plan
is to remove the partition wall in the
basement to the north of the present
boiler room and installing new boilers
~, HIao Il sn.s,,
boiler room, leaving the old boiler room
for a coal bin.
Mr. Sullivan also told us that excav
alton would be necessary in order to
install new boilers as the present base
ment would be too low, but did not
advise the building of a new building
He also informed us that portion OF
the present wall would have to be re.
moved in order to get the new boilers
in the building, but that this could
be done in manner that would not
show after being replaced, and tint
new chimney could be built and a
heating system installed without in
jury to any of the rooms, and recon-
mended the installing of a vapor sys-
tenn with an under feed boiler.
Respectfully submitted,
