TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR
AND COMMON COUNCIL CITY.
Gentlemen:
The accompanying pencil sketches
show suggested changes in the present
floor arrangement of the Hotel Veto
ria, and which changes in our opinion,
would seem to make the building quite
suitable and convenient for occupancy
by your Honorable Body
The work as contemplated provides
for a new vault, two stories in height,
of masonry construction, with concrete
foundation, etc. On the second ana
third floors, changes to meet the ar
rangement as indicated, are brought
about by the removal of non-support-
ing partitions, and which can be read
ilv removed without material injury to
the building The brick wall enclosing
the south side of present dining room
is to be removed, as well also as the
side wall of the present kitchen, and
the space extending to rear end of
kitchen is to be enclosed with brick
wall and rooted over as shown, thus
forming the council room,
Where brick walls are removed, the
structure above is to be supported on
beams with the necessary supporting
columns, etc. Steel ceilings are to be
installed where indicated, and the eX-
posed rear and sides of the present two
story frame portion, are to he brick We
neered. Heating and yentilating fucS
are to be provided for, etc. Then nee
essary | beams, etc, which may be re.
quired to form a more rigid support
for second and third floors, are also
contemplated by the changes.
1t is our opinion that the work as
outlined and indicated, can be done al
cost not to exceed $4,000.
Very truly yours,
JUL & SMITH,
Per (signed) GEO. l.. SMITH
