Dear Sirs ,
Please renew our permit number 725 of October„31, 1985.
The work was initiated last Fall and is proceeding. There
have been delays , however, and the work is not yet complete.
Please also renew permit number 738 dated November 7, which
covers replacement of roofing on the other side of the house.
After erecting the dormer, the contractor felt that the
weather was too cold to allow for proper sealing of the new
roofing on the other. He recommended7waiting for spring to
complete the roofing.
Sincerely yours ,
A41eb `
