Officers present: County Executive.
The County Executive advised that it would be necessary to purchase a new boiler in order to
heat the County Office Building and the Court House the coming winter. He stated that on inspection by
Mr. Marion Keller and Mr. Wilson Michie, it was found that the present boiler which was installed t~enty-
three years ago, was depleted to the point where repairs were unwise. He stated in his opinion if gas
were available, it would be advantageous to install a gas burning boiler instead of a ~l boiler as had
been used in the past. Mr. Michie and Mr. Michie were present at the meeting and gave their views of the
matter. Mr, Michie stated in his opinion a gas b~ler would furnish more satisfactory heat. After con-
siderable discussion, the Board was of the opinion that a ~as boiler should be installed if such utility
were available. It was explained that the cost of a service line from the street to the building would
have to be borne by the county. On motion, duly made and seconded, the County Executive was authorized
to proceed with the installation of a gas boiler if the utility were available. Otherwise, to purchase
a coal boiler as recommended by Mr. Michie.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.
