President Alphonso Elder North Carolina College at Durham Durham, North Carolina

Subject: North Carolina College at Durham Code 1632, Item 8 Power Plant

Dear President Elder:

The matter of the extra for installing a temporary breeching in your heating plant has now been settled and several facts have come to light since Mr. Vick and I met with your Board of Trustees in Durham which lead me to believe that Piping and Equipment Company should be paid in full the amount which they requested for installing and removing the temporary breeching. There were several letters exchanged between the engineers and Piping and Equipment Company and between Piping and Equipment company and the fabricators of the permanent breeching which had not reached our desk and these letters presented the additional facts which are mentioned.

It is recommended that you authorize Mr. Jones to pay Piping and Equipment Company in full the amount of their claim for the extra breeching and without the same amount from the engineering firm on their fee until the matter is finally settled.

Very truly yours, /signed/B F. B. Turner Engineer FBT:db CC: Mr. D. S. Coltrane Note: The amount of the extra claim is $2,017.16.
