Gent 1 em on so "October 209 1932. Re: Temporary Heat during construction of City Hall. The meter reading for temporary heat used during the con- struction of the City Hall Buildings up to the day that the plaster bonding was started was 1429400 lbs; on January 25th, 1932v Heat was required during this time in order that the pipe lines which were later to be concealed behind furring tile, could be tested under water pressure and that the water which would be left in the traps would not freeze* The Secretary of the Utility Board, Mr: Lentfer; has com- puted the cost of the steam used during this period as $147AO; which should be paid by the City to the Utility Board, since the Schwartz Co: was not concerned with having heat during this period of time. The Schwartz Company st art ed plastering on February 4t h" 1932 at which time the meter reading was 298,000 lbs. The cost of steam used to this date was $258.46. The Schwartz Co. paid for steam used 0 I Y 177 after this date at a rate agreed upon by the Utility Board. If the Schwartz Company is to be charged for the use of steam from -the time that the plaster. bonding was started until actual plastering was commenced then the chwartz Company is to be charged the sum of 1111408 (the difference between 725%48 and 147 40 ) At the meeting of the Council which I attended when this was discussed, it was decided that the matter be referred to the City Attorney, Mr, Spillane. The subject of Heat is mentioned in the Lathing and Plastering 'specifications under paragraph 129 page 46: 1 "Adequate temporary heat will be provided .by the General Contractor for the proper execution of the work under this contracts" Plaster bonding is mentioned under the same specifications paragraph 3 page 44: , "Plaster shall be applied after 24 hours and within one week after the walls have been coated with plaster bond." Mr1i Schwartz contends that the plaster bonding sub -contractor came to the job too early and applied the material on the ceilings before the Schwartz Company was ready to follow up with his plastering sub -contractor. read: Respectfully submitted, P.
