conscience needs no accuser. Does
Mr.. Glenn think, whenever he sees
two men talking together that they
are talking about himS"
Glenn made n long disconnected
talk, the burden of which was the
interested motives of those who were
"A
pushing the matter.
Bower-"T There has been recon
mendation by the supervising archi.
tect to allow the contractor $1,000.
We don't want that paid" He then
gave the amount (somethinc over
$4,000 which is probably duo.
"There is another little bill in hero
for an extra to the amount of over
$4,000, You have no right to pay
that The instant you passed an order
to pay over $500 without proper notice
you exceeded your authority. A to

THE FOUNDATION.

Next came long discussion over
the depth OF the foundation.
Mr., Glenn seemed to think that an
average of three feet complied with
the specifications.
Nj. Hiskey said he had done con-
siderable building and always counted
the depth Of the foundation from the
lowest point on the surface, as on
ground with great inclination there
might be an average depth of three
feet where il would be necessary to set
one side OF the building on trcstle-work
to keep it level.
In answer to McNett as 20 whether
the committee considered the founda-
ton three feet deep, Mr. ellison said he
did. Mr.. White said he would not
give decided answer without first
making another measurement.
QUAINT ARITHMETIC.
Mr.. Hisley explained that from the
levels he had taken, even counting the
depth of the upper side, it would not
average three feet as the upper side
