The City Engineer reported that from the Williams Radiator Company, he had received a bid of 4157.50 for two Clow Gasteam Radiators installed in the City Hall Anex, and that in his estimation it would cost 4133.20 to equip said annex with steam radiators and connect with the boiler in the City Hall.
