The electrical, plumbing, heating, and ventila- ting plans and specifications meet all require- ments for Mt. Prospect Code. The General Work Specifications and Flans were checked and found to adequately cover the Village Codes pertaining to safety and fire protection. The exits are large enough and are well distributed and at convenient locations. The roof joists, according to our calculations are su"ficient to support well over 30 lbs. per square foot. This should carry the snow load for Northern Illinois' winter climate. The Plans and specifications are recommended for approval by the Village Board, subject to and in compliance with the Village Plan and Zoning Ordinance A.C. Dresser Temporary Chairman E.H.
