The matter of roof repairs was again discussed and it was the opinion of the Board that the expense
incurred in this direction would require an extra appropriation from the City. Mr. Webber reported
that while the work was such that no contractor would name a price, still it would be safe to figure
a probable expense of at least $600.00
Mr. Webber was given authority to go ahead with above work.
