TO the Honorable President and Members
of the Police Jury of Bossier Parish,
benton, La.
| Gentlemen: We are inclosing bids for re-
pairs on Court House at Benton, La, as
per plans and specifications. as requested.
But we believe it would be better to leave
off the concrete walk around the building.
fill in around the building about 10 inches,
with Il slope of q or feet, and underpin
the foundation. as the trouble is, that the
fOunCation is not deep enough, and hog
chains would not by themselves. keep the
wallis from settling.
| We also believe that the best way to do
this work would be on percentage basis.
We have built Il great many buildings in
Shreveport. La, that plan. some that
have cost S1OO.GO0, and can give you plenty
of references We would do this work for
II per cent and assume the employers lia-
biity insurance, as required by state law.
or for 10 per cent and you carry the insur-
ance on labor. Yours very truly,
