From the Committee on Buildings
To the Honorable the Director-at-Larg
and members of the Board of Chosen
FreehoIders of Hudson County,
GENTLEMEN-Your Committee on Build
ings would most respectfully report
recommending that the building known
as the Hall of Records be and is hereby
accepted as per report, ii subject to the
restrictions OF the report Of Architect

To the Honorable the Director Large
and members Of the Board Of Chosen
Freeholders OF the county of Hudson:-
r.~- - -.-~N .-.,aFFnn1-
my examination of the Hall of Records.
The building. as l understand. has been
under construction for nearly two years.
and the greater part of the work has beea
completed in about one year thereafter.
Consequently, l have been unable to ex-
anime the work then done, but from the
general view the mason work appears to
be done in a thorough manner.
The plumbing work Is up to the stan
dard, as far as closets, &C., are concerned,
no weight of pipe being specified in the
specifications, leaving the plumber to use
his own Judgment.
The specification calls for all doors to
nave raised panels. They are not a. speci-
fed. This is of no serious objection. Inc
staircase is unfinished, the base should
continue down the strings aud connect
with base on sides. The specification
does not proylde Tor this being done, but
il is necessary for a finish.
The specification calls for blue stone
saddles, also for hard wood saddles. The
latter were used; but to my mind it was
the intention of the architect TO have the
former so as to correspond with the Til
ing.
All the office doors were to have ground
glass, with the nams OF Office grounI in
same. This has not been done. The r.
gister's office and private Office were to be
laid in yellow pine flooring. The same
has been omitted and the thing substitute
ed, / presume, for the reason TO have the
same correspond with the rest of the
flooring.
The iron columns on the second floor
are not alike, as the ones on the east
side are not ornamented TO the heighth OF
the west side. They, however, are no
detriment to the building.
The iron door Iastenings are not in as
good a working order as they might be.
With a little adjustment, they can be
made 10 work properly and more securely.
The steam heating work appsars TO
have been done in a proper anner
Taking into consideration the time the
building has been under construction. and
the difficulties attending thereto. and
many items not clearly s-,eciied, the
board can congratulate itself upon hay
ing SO good a JOB.

Architect.
