Architect Tinsley's Work.

THE Y. NJ. C. A. BUILDING-U. s. COURT
HOUSE AT CHARLEsTON-A COMPLI-
MENT TO THE CONTRACTOR.
Mr.. J. E. Tinsley, the architect. who is
also contractor for erecting the Y. M. g.
A. building, has not pushed it,on account
of the fuctuating weather. If the wealth
or permits, he expects to put on a large
force in the next three weeks and put it
through in hurry. It is turn key'
job and he expects to hand over the key
to the owners by the 1st of July with
everything finished and nothing to do but
put the gas-fxtures and furniture in. The
building will cost 1923, 900.
On his contract for the extension of the
u. s. Court House and Post Office at
Charleston, Kanawha, a $31 900 job, Mr..
Tinsley has made his excavations, and has
the stone quarried for the foundations, and
most of the stone on the ground. The
building is 20 be finished December LIST,
1889.
He has let the iron work for the two
fire-proof partitions in the old u. S. court
house at Harrisonburg, to the Phoenix Iron
Co. of Philadelphia, The rooms are to be
used for jury rooms and the change costs
500.
Mr.. Tinsley has just received very
substantial recognition of the value of his
work from the U. S. Supervising Archi-
tect, Mr.. Will A. Freret. The U. s..
Court House at Harrisonburg. for which
Mr.. Tinsley contracted, was to be finished
by Sept. 1st, 1898. with penalty of $50 a
day for every day after that that it was
not finished. It was not completed till
December 18th, 18S8-being more than
three months overdue. The Supervising
Architect in his letter to the Secretary of
the Treasury says:
'"The contract provides for penalty of $50
per day for each and every day of delay not
caused by the government, but in view of the
fact that the contractor has evidently used
every endeavor to complete his work within
the time specified; that said aoork aoGs first
class IN e0eay particular, and that the delay
was in part caused by the government, I re-
specially recommend that penalty eff 800
only, be charged against the contractor as to
time. the balance of penalty being waived and
authority given for payment of the balance
under contract"
