Dear Mr, Allen:

For the past two or three years it was evident that a new heating
plant would have to be installed at the club., Our present and
previous managers faithfully stayed on the job through some very
severe cold spells without heat in their living quarters on the
third floor of the club house, which was very-unfair to them.

That fact, together with the fact that the old heating plant had
become antiquated to such an extent that it had become a source
of considerable expense each year, caused the Board to contract
for a new plant which would be adequate for all needs - present
and future. This plant has been installed and is now working to
the complete satisfaction of every one vitally concerned. It
heats the entire building including the locker rooms. WNo more
showers in the "Pneumonia Wards". fi

The total expense of this plant - an oil burning, forced circulation
layout -:was approximately $1500.00. This amount included necessary
remodeling and repairs caused by the change in the location of the
plant. The heating plant itself cost $1275.00. The Board did not
Wish to increase the club debt any more than Was necessary, so
reluctantly decided to ask the club members for individual donations.
The response to date has been gratifying, approximately one-fourth
the membership having donated or agreed to donate approximately
one-third the cost.

To you as a contributor, the Board expresses its appreciation in
aiding a worthy and much needed improvement.

Sincerely, 3

The Board of Directors,

By Gene Glahn, President, q
W. H. Reuse, House Chairman.
