G. L. Thompson, the architect of the new
Reed hotel, the foundation of which wa
partly laid last fall, came up from Salt LAX
yesterday, prepared to resume work, bu
found that committee, which had beer
appointed by the council to examine AM
report upon the strength and adequacy o.
the foundation, had not made thelr report
There is no doubt in the mind of thi
writer that the objections raised to tn,
foundation Of this proposed hotel were con
ceived in malice or ignorance, or both, ant
born of desire to retard an enterpris
that would be Of great benefit to the city
The question submitted to then
r should have been promptly decides
1 by the committee, so that tn
architect might know just wha
to do. Let it once become known AM
understood that obstacles are to be throws
in the way of men who desire to put thei
money in buildings in this city, and tn
building boom will never reach very grea
proportions. it is all right to insist upol
having heavy superstructures rest upol
solid foundations, but the time to protes
against foundations is not after they hav
been completed, but when the footings ar
being laid and the walls constructed.
