the work in the construction of the Kings
Mountain monument, beg leave to make the
following report: We find the outside work to
exceed the contract as to quality of stone, and
fully up to it in point of workmanship; and
einside filling, for which there's no contract,
we consider substantial and durable.

In my report to the chairman of the monu-
ment committee, which led to the above in
vestigation, my action was based on specifca-
tions sent me by the chairman of said COM
mittee, requiring dimension stone to be used
for filling. On examination, I find that the
contract is entirely silent as to the inside
work, and has no reference to any specitica-
tion. I further find that what / observed as
specially Objectionable has been removed. l
therefore concur in the above report.
