WHEREAS, Under the grant offer of
the PWA to the City of Ely dated
october 16, 1886, the Community Gen.
ter Building in Ely, Minnesota, known
as Docket No. Minnesota, 1O97-D, was to
be completed by January II, 1888, and
WHEREAS, The contractor on said
project, Lenci, Lenci and Englund, have
requested an extension of the COM
pletion date from January IL, 1888 to

for said request that they were held up
in the work due to the fact that the
nature of the construction of the build
ing prevented a ventilation of the
building, which latter would be re-
quired in order to dry out the building
before the mill work is put in and be-
fore the painters could start, and

tension as submitted by the contractor
seems reasonable to the City of Ely,

said request of Lenci, Lenci and Eng
lund to extend the completion date as
