<br />Dear Sir:
<br />Res Court House Roof
<br />Vero Beach, Fla.
<br />This letter will refer to your complaint placed with our. New York Office under date
<br />of November 17:•
<br />Our representative, qtr. H. 0. Bishop, made a thorough examination on December 4, with
<br />the following gentlemen presents
<br />S. E. Glover, County Commissioner
<br />Edward A. Helseth, County Commissioner
<br />E. P. Poole, County Commissioner
<br />Douglas Baker, Clerk of Circuit Court
<br />W. H. Garnes, Architect
<br />E. H. Hale, Roofer
<br />The information which has been conveyed to us.is.that the roof proper, for which
<br />we are responsible under the bond issued, is in perfect condition and no leaks have occurred
<br />from same.
<br />The flashing is : also in good condition..
<br />Leaks complained of, from all indications, are traceable to water absorption by
<br />parapet walls, ornamental cornice, etc,
<br />We are informed that a water test was made on the roof by flooding water over same
<br />a period of time and no-leaks.occurred but when the water was placed on the outside walls great
<br />quantities entered the building.
<br />It appears that we have no responsibility here and the owner*s problem is one of a
<br />waterproofing nature of the parapet walls.
<br />We are pleased to have been of service in this connection.and
<br />Very truly yours
<br />THE BARRETT COMPANY
