THE MATERIAL TO BE USED NOT YET DECIDED CPON
The question as TO what material shall be used
in the construction OF the library building
has never been considered by the commission,
notwithstanding the published assertion that the
contract for material would probably be awarded
to Gov. Budwell, OF Maine. Mr. Clark, OF the COM
mission, said 10 Il STAR reporter:
"The question as TO whether the building shall
be OF marble, or granite, or brick has never been
considered Tor moment. Inquiries have been
sent to us on the subject and we have replied that
nothing has yet been determined. have no doubt
that when the commission decide this point they
will then, OF course, advertise for proposals and
each bidder will be required to send in samples OF
his marble, or his granite, or whatever may be
bids and samples. Why, the commission would
never think ior moment of awarding the con-
tract to anybody without composition. The idea
is absurd. The question as to material will not
be decided before next spring."
