was already approved, an 18" quarter round window was ordered by Mr. Bowyer which was an 18" sash with a 13" glass. The actual sash size on that window was about 20" and resulted in the window no longer square but instead slightly rectangular. Approval had been given for a square window which was not available in that small of a size. However, a quarter round 13" x 13" glass size was available. Would it be acceptable to the commission? Mr. Oxian saw no objection with this as long as there was the same amount of glass as had been originally approved. Mr. Bide stated that due to Mr. Bowyer's error in presenting for approval a window which was not available the compelling reason to install the windows, that being to get more light in,'did not seem important any longer. Mr. Bowyer responded that the window that was approved was actually smaller then the one being presented. Mrs. Petrass asked if the sash was narrower and did it match the existing ones. Mr. Bowyer responded that the sash was narrower because the existing one was to large. Therefore, the window was down—sized which was acceptable to the commission. The actual size of the unit was 17 9/16" the size of the casement was also 17 9/16". Hence, an 18" window which was 17 9/16" wide, 23 1/8" tall resulted. The existing quarter round window had an 18" glass size. The benefits to the home owner were as follows: increased glass size or light, added ventilation, replacement of single pane glass with tempered safety glass in the lower units. Mr. Pastor asked if the window approved two months ago, an 18" radius quarter round with a casement underneath of 18" square, included the wood surround. Mr. Bowyer responded that it did. Mr. Oxian suggested that if there were no objections a motion should be made to accept the windows. Mr. Newburn so moved; Mr. Herendeen seconded. Motion approved. Mr. Bide abstained.
