Armory Board-Request of, for Approval of the Expenditure of $360 for Labor and Material Necessary for Providing Twelve Windows in Troop C Armory, Borough of Brooklyn.

The Deputy and Acting Comptroller presented the following report and offered the following resolution:

To the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund:

April 6, 1916.

Gentlemen-At a meeting of the Armory Board held March 16, 1916, the followresolution was adopted:

"Resolved, That the contract and specification for alterations betw courts, First Cavalry armory, Bedford Avenue and President Street, Borough of Brooklyn (contract of George Stanton & Son, Inc.), be and are hereby amended so as to include additional windows opening into the mounting corridor, in accordance with the blue print furnished by the architects, Messrs. Pilcher & Tachau, at an additional cost of $360, as recommended by the Bureau of Contract Supervision under date of March 16, 1916; and the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund be respectfully requested to concur."

The cost of the work is to be charged against the corporate stock fund entitled "C.A.B. 70A, Armory Fund, Troop C, Alterations and Additions to Armory." On March 27, 1916, there remained in the fund an unencumbered balance of $4,090.50.

The mounting corridor, which is situated on the south side of the building, has windows opening over the courts, between the stables. These courts are now being roofed over to provide saddle and storage rooms, and the present windows will be converted into doors. When the contract work is completed there will be no ventilation for this corridor, and it will also be necessary to have artificial light there at all times.

It is proposed to cut out twelve windows into the courts above the roof of the new saddle rooms. This will not only provide ventilation, but will also provide sufficient light in the daytime for this corridor.

This change will effect an annual economy in lighting cost of about $50.

The plan, as submitted, is satisfactory, and the estimate of cost of $360 is reasonable.

This amendment to the contract having been suggested by the Bureau of Contract Supervision, I recommend the adoption of the attached resolution approving the expenditure. Respectfully, ALEX. BROUGH, Deputy and Acting Comptroller.

Resolved. That the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, pursuant to its resolution adopted on October 25, 1911, hereby approves the expenditure of three hundred and sixty dollars ($360) for all labor and materials necessary for the purpose of providing twelve windows in the mounting corridor of Troop "C" Armory, Borough of Brooklyn, the cost to be charged against the corporate stock fund "CAB-70A, Armory Fund. Troop C, Alterations and Additions to Armory."

The report was accepted and the resolution adopted, all the members present voting in the affirmative.
