this date at which were present the Rector, John Stewart Bryan,
H. D. Dillard, W. R, Duke, E. L. Greever, Walter T. Oliver, Alexander
F. Robertson, Fred W. Scott, C. Harding Walker and President
Alderman. In response to your invitation the undersigned members
of the Architectural Commission met at the University to
consider sites and recommend a site for the Gymnasium. The Architectural Commission has considered and studied
at length all phases of the gymnasium problem and now submits
these plans which, in our unanimous professional judgment,
are the most economical solution which meets all the
obligatory requirements. We submit an approximate estimate of
cost prepared by Mr. W. P. Thurston, the Richmond contractor,
in the sum of $259,000.00. On this basis we recommend
that the Board authorize the preparation of working
drawings and specifications on which bids for the work
may be secured. According to general plans and specifications of
the central heating system, prepared by myself and adopted
by the engineering faculty, construction will go
forward, as funds become available, in three sections.
The first section, to be installed for $60,000 now
available, comprises: ATTENTION Mr. Chas. Hancock On October 10th, 1921 the Common Council of the

of the water situation in Charlottesville, and to get up
