This would represent 120 pairs of shutters rather than the 80 pairs as originally stated measuring 14" x 51 ". (b) Any wooden shutters from the old section which can be salve, would be turned over to the Authority for future use in the new section. (c) Any missing wooden shutters in the new section would be reply with wooden shutters by contractor as outlined in specificati and plans.
