The following report and recommendation of the Committee on Grounds and Buildings was presented: To the Honorable County Board of Bayfield County, Wisconsin. Gentlemen: - In accordance with a resolution passed by the Comity"Board of Bayfield County at the annual meeting -held on December 18th, 1916, your committee known as the committee on Buildings and Grounds, together with Henry Wildhagen, Architect, advertised for bids for the remodeling of the court room at the court hoy.se in the city of Washburn, also for the fixed and moveable furniture which was needed to equip and complete the work. Owing to the increased cost of labor and materials, the 'bids for this work overrun the original estimates to some extent. Bids were awarded as follows: To Anton Johnson, Washburn, Wis., $3564.009 for remodeling the court room, etc. as per plans and specifications. To Scott- Taylor Company of Ashland, Wis., $2485.00. for fudnishing the fixed and moveable furniture. After entering upon the contract tie found it' necessary, on account of faulty consturction in the original work of the court house to remove a'large portion of the floor in the court room and to raise and relay this floor which necessitated an extra cost of $60.00. We 91so found it necessary to cut an extra window in the court room in order to even up the space and to provide more light which entailed a cost of $200.00. Other work done outside of the original contract, such as re- pairing ceilings etc. entailed a cost of $65.00. The decisidn of the Wisconsin Industrial Commission, to the effect that it would be necessary to construct'a fire escape at the rear of the building in order- to comply with the new building code also will necessitate an expenditure of $320.00. New wiring of the court room and new light fixtures for the court room and adjoining rooms will cost in the neighbor hood'of $350.00. New radiators and 2d, 3 2 Special Session, March 29th, �917. new piping needed throughout the court room and adjoining rooms will necessitate the expenditure of about .100.00. We would therefore ask that the County Board set aside an addition sum of 2000.00, to cover these additional expenses, incurred or.about to be incurred in order to complete the work in first class manner. When the work now mnder way is completed, Bayfield County will have one of the finest court rooms to be found any place in Northern Wisconsin. Respectfully submitted, Ole Handberg, Andrew Johnson, W. A. Robinson, Committee on Buildings and Grounds. Moved and seconded that the report be accepted and that the recommendations of the committee be granted and the amount asked for be set aside for the use and purpose mentioned.
