THE CITY HALL.
The Other Side of the story Told.

At the last meeting Of the city council Mr.. lo-
g,n, as chairman of Building Committee on City
Hill, presented report and, in doing So took Il
covardly opportunity to iniurc me before the
public as he intended. Said report appeared in
the Republican and FREE TRADER Of last week. As
builder dependent on the public am compelled
for the first time in my life, and against my nci-
nation, to vindicate myself | will therefore tell
the other side of the story in brief manner as
possible.
Mr.. Logan furnished plans and specifications
BODYBUILDING the City Hall, both of which clear
ly indicate to any competent builder that Mr.. Lo'
ga, had undertaken a job he was not competent
to perform, as propose to show.
10 begin with; the position of jost in first story
moth end had to be changed and double-thick
glass substituted for singlc-thick all before the
contract was signed. Next, the center wall was
taken down in cellar and pins put instead. Then
the position of the ceiling jost were changed, be-
ing first changed by Logan in his specification
(for sake of originality SUPPOSE from the plan
of old building, viz: running across the building
as they should, and do now run. The cross par
titiOnS in second story, by being located strictly
according to plan, are both wrong-thc one in
Council room having to run about nine inches out
of line to save the opening for door; the other
about six inches too far north, being crowded on
one door and Gway from the other. 1t would

Their into detail regarding stairs, roof tower, dc.
but do assert that the city would have saved
money and have better job if Mr.. Logan and
his plans were kept away altogether.
The east wal! of the building was sprung out
of perpendicular from to - inches. The whole
committee met there and about concluded 10 take
it down, but proppcd and Strengthened it anc
secured it thoroughly, BY 80 doing ! saved tho
city the taking down of from t,Ni,e houSand tC

would cost from $40 to $50
In presenting my bill | have made no charge
| FOR this work and would not if the committee hat
acted fairly with me Yet Mr.. Logan has tho
cheek to say in his report that "the committee
