Caldwell, of Caldwell and Caldwell, landscape architects, appeared before the Court and discussed further the matters of the landscaping and the sprinkler eystm for the new courthouse grounds. He stated that it had been found that three additional water heads should be installed in the sprinkler system and that 1-1/2-inch pipe should be used at a designated point rather that the 1-1/4-inch. He estimated that these changes would increase the cost of the sprinkler system by approximately $175.00. Mr. Caldwell further reported that it had been found necessary to substitute certain trees for those originally specified in the landscape plane, but that these changes would not increase the coot of the planting. He stated that the changes recommended were included in the attached orange order which was voted approval by the Court.
