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
