Durkin how to buy lockers and about the bid process. Mr. Harrison also stated that the
main steam pipe leaks about 40 gallons a day, and that the asbestos tiles on the floor

since the heating season is nearly over, and the comprehensive upgrade to the heating
system may eliminate the need for the defective section of plumbing. Mr. Harrison also

built. The pouring of the concrete floor will be done by May.
