Architect Dantell OF Cleveland, comes
out to-day with his answer TO Architect
(Ost of Columbus, in regard to the mat
ter OF the new city building IN this city.
Some time since the city council employed
NJ. Dantell to inspect the new building
To ascertain if everything was ali right in
pOiht OF safety etc. Mr.. Dantell did
SO and reported that there were GER
tain weak pOiutS--nOt serious in the
building and made several suggestions To
strengthen the galleries. stairs, etc His
suggestions were acted on and the improve
ments made by the building superinten
dent. Mr.. lOSt answered Dantell state.
meut to council. ami sort OF sat down on
his criticism, and now Mr.. Dantell comes
back at him. The people however have
every confidence in IOstS abilities as
an architect, and also in the strength
ut the magnificent new structure.
Mr. Dantell and fS&S Walter Blytter
we're the architects aud builders
ut our court house and while that building
is one of the best and finest in the State, it
is also the poorest and most inConvenient.
iy arranged structure that could have been
made. The court room is barn.like. and it
is almost impossible to be heard in the
room at all on account of the high cell
ing. Then, too, it is poorly ar.
ranged, and is acknowledged by all
To be a.failure as court room. The ar.
rangement of the city hail and opera house
speaks well for Mr.. Yost's abilities as an
architect, while DantelrS and Blythe's
court room is denounced. Mr. Dantell
should let the matter drop, as he is Ger
tainly getting the worst of il.
