out interest. IL had been the Intention oil
| the board to make these orders draw H..
| teres., but doubling the legality of such
! pr, ceilings, they therefore ordered the i.
sue OF them without interest. The contrac
tors were not aware of this until the con,
tract was made. These orders were furth
er deprecated in value by the peculiar
I - IL.
county in particular was placed in. A re
/ belliOn bad broken out which threatened
TO destroy the government. all lacking in.
stitutions we're shaking in their founda
tions, and the county orders were not sal
able, except at heavy discount, much
more so. as the county was flooded to a
more than usual extent with such orders
Before the contractors took the CONTRACT
they inquired of carpenters and other
wOTkmen, the amount that such ioineI
work 6c. would be taken for. without beirs
able to make definite contract With them
before they had received the contract then
selves.
As soon as this Was done the carpenter.
and iron contractors refused to take tht
contracts at the price fcrmsrly agreed IN
on, as the times had charged since nateri
ally This is Serious loss to the COZ
I tractors,
The contractors have need throught tht
whole building very heavy fagstone, with
ont the specifications calling for such stone
which created q great extra expense To-
handling and hauling
They further used a peculiar kind o
blue stone, that is far superior to whit,
stone, which the contract called for, anC
finished the whole work in q manner ia
superior TO work common With other con
tractors for the erection Of public building
and Improvements.
