Odell Newburn Chairman IR IL ,RE!! RYBLIININO CO. Department of Public Parks Administration Building St. Louis Boulevard at Wayne Street South Bend, Indiana 46617 PHONE: (219) 284 -9401 September 3, 1975 Mr—Roger Parent, President South.Bend Common Council County- City.Building 227.West Jefferson. Boulevard South Bend, Indiana Dear Mr. Parent: The Department of :Public Parks has been made aware, by a private heating contractor, that the.boiler.at La Salle. Recreation Center has a cracked wall and should.be replaced.. The.contractor states that-he feels it would not.be feasible to.repair.the.boiler, which could cost as high as $3,000.00,.and is recommending a new boiler. The Park Department plumbers agree with the contractors observation that a.new boiler should.be installed. The boiler is eight.years old. It is estimated that a new boiler will cost between•$6,000.00.and $8, 000.00, therefore, the Park Department is requesting $8,000.00 in.Revenue Sharing to finance the cost. Since the heating season is fast approaching, I consider this ordi- nance an emergency and would appreciate favorable action by the Common Council. Very truly yours, TRENT OF PUBLJCk7PARKS R.
