Air Condition Bids
Open For Theatre
Hot weather wont bother
Howell Theater goers if pres
ent plans are successful.
The University is now ac
cepting bids for the construc
tion of new air conditioning
for the theater, according to
Charles Fowler, director of
buildings and grounds.
Bids Absent
No bids have been received
yet and none are expected
until immediately before the
dead line, May 20, Fowler
commented.
The construction costs,
which are estimated at $25,
000, will be paid from the
regular building program
funds, the building director
stated. Construction should
be completed by the last part
of the summer.
The air conditioning is a
"deferred part of the original
project", Fowler said.
Funds Short
Several years ago with
the remodeling plans for the
theater, ventilation was de
signed, but limited funds
prevented immediate instal
lation, he explained.
"The system will supple
ment the present ventilation
system with cooling coils
in order to get the tempera
ture at a more desirable
range.
"A great deal of comfort
value will be added by the
air conditioning," Fowler
commented.
