Gentlemen:
Reply To: Department
of Public Works
July 23, 1975
Justification and explanation for the purpose of transferring funds
within the Bureau of Buildings and Structures is:
Acct. 120. Salaries and Wages reduction of $1800. One (1) person
was not replaced for a period of three months. In addition one em-
ployee was on leave of absence without pay for sickness beyond the
earned sick leave.
Balance June 28, 1975 $13986
Required June 30 thru December 31, 1975
944 hrs. @ $3.50 /hr. (New hire 7/21/75) $3304
1048 hrs. @ 4.66/hr. (Bldg. Engineer) 4884
1048 hrs. @ 3.75/hr. (Maint. Engineer) 3909
Total Required......... $12097 12097
Available ................... $ 1889
Acct. 251. Building «Structure Repair reduction $1000. This ac-
count can be reduced since we have not experienced any major repairs
in the first six (6) months. A total of 35% has been expended during
the first six months of 1975.
Acct. 726. Other Equipment reduction $1200. Priorities for required
operation of the MSF facility justify a transfer from this account.
Total reduction ................ $ 4000
Accts. 130. Extra and Overtime increase $1300. Variou situations
in the operation of the building brought about a requirement for
payment of overtime for Saturday and Sunday work. Also the increase
in the hourly rate plus the reduction of $1000 in the original bud-
get request for extra hire (summer months) to maintain the land-
scaping in and around our Facility.

Accts. 333, 370 and 430. The respective increase is mostly due to
the huge increase in prices for supplies and particularly for repair
parts.
Some of the problems that have resulted in increased overtime and /or
materials and equipment replacement costs are: The continued infla-
tionary increase in paper products, soap, cleaning supplies and mo-
tor parts. Plumbing and electrical failures on weekends result in
increased overtime requirements.
Very truly yours,
Rollin E. Farrand, P. E.
