It may be possible at some locations to tighten the loose bands by wedging, etc.; however we feel that it would be more efficient and economical to in- stall new bands. Generally, the trusses were found to be in a satisfactory condition at this time. Decking was found to be in satisfactory condition. We would point out that no reinforcing of members should be carried out unless first approved by Totten, Sims, Iiubicki Associates. INSPECTOR: Frank Coombs J. T. DONALD CONSU TANTS LIMITED L� G. E.
