Mr.. MCCARTHY said that Mr.. Cassidy

which he thought ought TO be satisiac.
tory He knew all OF them and knew
they were our best mechanics. The
bondsmen were also given, and II they
were not considered sufficient he held
himself ready to go on the bond for
f10, ,0C0 more.
Mr.. Smith said he was assured that Mr..
Cassidy was a good workman and en-.
tirely responsible. He built Quigley &
Mullins morocco factory, the Weccacoe
engine house and several other large
buildings, and they were considered first
class buildings. He then moved that the
contract for building the Twelfth ward
school be awarded to Hubert Cassidy at
his bid of S19,s97.
Mr.. Morgan thought that the motion
was out Of order as there was alrt ady q
motion pending to fill up the committee.

him personally, but he knew that some
faulty buildings had been put up and he
wanted to make no mistake.
Mr.. MCCARTHY wanted to know II there
was not building Inspector
The answer was: "Yes, such as he
was"

chosen to attend to the erection OF the
building.

builders as Mr.. Foulk and Mr.. Bal ey
upon the committee there would be no
need of an inspector. The motion was
lost.
