" The following report from the Rochester Band Committee was read and upon motion by Green second by Fryer it was accepted, with the provi- sion that there shall be no additional appropriation for so-called winter band concerto: The Hon. Common Council, City of Rochester, Minnesota., Gentlemen - "February 4th 1935 In 16nswer to your recent communication addressed to 651 the Band Committee we wish to say that we cannot finance from available funds a winter band concert season. This is borne out by the following; 1. At the time our budget was submitted to you it was our intention not to carry out our proposed year-round band activity until sufficient money to adequately compensate the musicians engaged was available. We felt that any small increase in the budget should be used to increase salaries of band members. 2. By following the above statement it can be seen that that our entire budget will be used for the summer park band season. 3. We feel that if it is the desire of your Honorable body to give winter indoor concerts that you appropriate funds from sources other than the band fund. The fund necessary to finance two winter -concrerts would be $440.00. - - Respectfully submitted, Rochester Band Comomittee, G. P. Sheridan A.J.Lentfer A.E.Reiter, - A. H.

Dear Sir : State rhgineer, P.W.A., 2C5 Uptown 111.0. & Pederal Courts Bldg., St.Ppul ,Minnesota, January 21,1935. In reply to your letter of January 22nd, please }-)e advised that the Administration has ruled that the only projects which are eligible for additional grants are those in .vti�ich the actual construction " • costs exceed the ori^i.nal estimated costs. In t,hiG pn,rtioular case wir records show that, your original application was made.for or a pro jPct estimated to cost `', 1�22,197.00 but that this was later reduced to 892,333.00 after the elimination of the paving which the City decided to construct by its own forces. Your final construction costs, including extras and inspection, amount to approximately90,000.00. Therefore, it appears that you ,are not eligible for an additional grant: At the time your application was examined in Washington, it was the policy to make grant allotments .for 30% of the estimated net cost of labor and materials only and it is probable that your allotment was made on that basis* The Administrator letter ruled that the 30% grants co;zl.d be made to include total contract costs plus the cost of inspection and supervision but this order of the Administrator was not made retroactive.
