Hon. J.M. Clark

Dear Sir

My estimate for
repairing the curbing around your
lot (No 3337 Laurel Ave is as
follows.

14 iron clamps galvanized	$3.50
6 days masons & cutting & clamp'g	18.00
1 1/3 [days] leading joints	4.00
50 lts lead	3.50
1 1/2 labor sodding, borders & next curb'g	3.37
120 ft sods	3.60
[Total]	$35.97

The cost of a stone post if wanted
for the vase you propose to place on the
lot would be $3.50 to $5.00 set, according
to whether a post 10" square would answer,
or whether a larger one must be put there
say 12 inches square, which is probably as
large as any I now have on hand.

The open joint could be filled with
lead at a smaller expense, but the
curb unless clamped & reset would
continue to move with each winter's frost
so that while the first cost would be
less, it would in my opinion be poor
economy to repair in that way.

The flower will be placed in the
vase as you request instead of in
the borders.

Yrs truly
J.W. Lovering
