He reported the trouble was in the roof in as much as the flashing is; of slate which is not flashing material and should have been felt, also that th flashing lapse uphill. instead of downhill and from -the everyday movement of the. roof, gravel.ha worked under the lapse, therefore the water was running through the flashing on to the concrete roof deck beneath, then off the edges of the deck into the one inch dead air space between the exterior face brick -and the back-up tile. I-. Simpson also reported that water was standing on the roof when of course this condition should not exiat. He suggested that.a picture be taken of this condition and that in as much as the County had a ten year guaranteefrom the Barrett Roofing Company that he would suggest the Board take immediate action to get the roof fixed and by so doing would stop all of the so called gosip regarding the condition of the Courthouse.

Hensick, Contractor, also statedthathe was in general ---agreement with -the report submitted by Mr. Simpson.and.stated that he did not approve of the flashing material.us and told the roofers about it at that time -but their reply was that. -the County was .getting. a lO year guaranteed Barrett Roof and would be protected in the event it-was_not satisfactory. fir. W. H. Garms, Architect, approved Bir. C. F. Simpsons report and suggested that a statement be prepared for publication, however, the Board decided it would be better to defer this action until the roofing company proceeded with the work.
