Mr. David said he had talked with Thomas Wilson @ Dinsmore & Shohl, Columbus, Ohio and Paul Koch at Civista Bank about the bond and loan application for the new building. He said he has yet to receive any final figures from either of them. He said Mr. Koch from Civista Bank said to figure a rough cost figure of $10,000 dollars for the cost of the bond, so adding all the cost of the different construction phases for completion of the building he suggested a final figure of $205,000 for the building.
