Hespecuully submitteJ BY
FRED y HALE. Architect.
Mr.. Apponyi made a request that
the joint committee for the city and
county give him a hearing. This
was granted, and It was understood
that he worsted Mr.. Hale on the
discussion, sustaining his work
against the criticism Of the latter.
This victory for Mr.. Apponyi did
not cause the committee to decidein
his favor. II appeared 10 be neces-
sary to lind some competent judge
on such subjects who would criticise
the plans and in some way sustain
the objections. Hence they were
forwarded TO Mr.. Charles +. Illsley,
architect, Of ST. Louis, with the FOL
lowing result:
Dir. ILLSLEY's sTATETENT.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10, 1890.
Hon. George n. Scott. Mayor:
Dear Sir-On the ilh inst I iele-
graphed receipt Of CITY Hall plans and 1
specifications. also your letter 4 2itl
ult-, with enclosures, and on 9th Inst.
mailed you a list OF drawings and /
specifications found within the case.
In view Of your request for an early
reply, have examined these papers
Sufficiently 10 as -ertaln their general
character and make preliminary re-
port without delay.
While the drawings are neatly rem
dered thew show lack Of familiarity /
with building operations Of magnitude
and a dangerous oversight OF tha prin-
ciples Of safe construction. They are
one-tLird or perhaps one-fnuTih as
many as should be provided for such
: building an they are, besides, so i'm
perfect and obscure in themselves that
no contractor can bill inIel,igently.
While il is impossible 70 tell in most
cases precisely wha. may or may not /
he intended, | should fear n an at
tempt ere made To erect the walls
from these plans that they would not
stand long enough to ge' the roof on.
There would also be difficulty in plac-
ing FIRE insurance.
/ find the specifications equally in
complete and defective, apparently
compilation from hand books ami
trade catalogues made by some one
inexperienced in practical work.
There are but seventeen pages, where
I should expect sixty or seventy.
Matters Of great importance are not
referred TO al all, or 50 vaguely as TO
be .ninJelliIible. These many omis-
sions cannot be covered bv the fire.
quent proviso AS may be directed by
the architect" stree this subjects q
CONTRACT n TO demands on him for
labor and material, the number, ex-
tent and value II which he cannot
estimate in advance. The city, IN
turn, is equally exposed to claims by
the contractor Tor "extras" on account
e work which must 20 done but i
not shown either in drawings or speci-
ficstions.
\ sunk 1t should be possible to
erect your bnildinC for a sum not TO /
exceed SIZE. 600, possibly for less. as
Stunning that there Will be no question |
rs to the city's ability to paw promptly |
for the work as il Progresses; and /
with a full and accurate set Of draw |
ings and sneciticIti1 n, 1 anticipate no |
unusual difficulty in letting the work |
TO responsible parties who will erect |
and finish IL in athorOughly substan- |
tial and crediiabie manner for about |
the amount l have named. without
delays and without claims for extras.
As 20 Carnegie beams, It is nv rule
to leave an opening Tor competition
wherever possible, instead Of speci-
fying a single manufacture. My
methods % ventilation. fire proohng,
etc, will be embodied IN my plans;
also the proper location OF the police
court, which IS unfortunately placed
in several particulars.
