lvfr.Lee for the Prop.committee submitted the following report;"l.That in accordan
with the authorization of council.the excavation of the basement of the Mech.Hall
has been completed-and the floor fully cemented.After obtaining the advice of an
expert builder,it was found necessary to tear down most of the retaining wall erect
ed last year,and to construct a new wall underneath the old wall.This,also,has now
been fully completed,giving a. very pleasing effect to a work,which in the early
sPring of this year presented a real problem to your committee""2.Your committee
now recommends that immediate steps be taken to install a heating system and also
toilets in the rear of the basement • .U.eat is required to protect the building from
dampness: and e.lso subsequently the fros t.:.l ~our committee has obtained plans and
speaifications for heating systems fro.m a number of firms in the trade,and each
of these will be presented to your council.In view of entirely different systems
of heating having been presented,with their consequent wide difference in price,
the members of your committee.present to consider seme,found it difficult to make
any recommendations as to which tender should be accepted.This was made al~ the
more difficult since Councillor Stuart left the meeting at its opening~for reasons
best known to himself.In view of this.the other members are reticent in making a
definite recommendation.although,.we do recommend that a firm carrying on business
in Aurora be given the contra.c:t;.•tThe first two clauses were adopted and the third
referred back to the committee to secure further particulars from schemes arising
out of the discussion.
}~.Malloy asked if it were possible to make an approach for Mr.F.Teasdale to
