He recommended that the Company
be granted an order for ST., 900, and
promised to make out his certificate to
that effect. The resolution was accord
ingly passed by the Commission.
Mr.. Seeley added the details OF his
fights about the belts, boilers, cap-stones
for the engines, etc, and regarding the
latter he said he had claimed that the
engine company were to furnish
them. The letter claimed they had
nothing to do with the stones. He had
ordered the building contractor TO FUR
nish them and charge the cost to the
Fort Wayne Company. His action was
approved.
Mr.. Seeley then brought up the mat
ter of dynamo foundation, about which
there had been an irrepressible conflict.
1t seems the specifications call for
dynamo and engine foundations, ETC.,
but the plans show shafting foundation,
about which nothing is said, and no
DYNAMO foundations at all. The archi-
tect said the word dynamo" In the
specifications was misprint, and
should have been "shafting." The con-
tractor disclaimed having anything to
do with dynamo" foundations. The
architect was finally instructed TO have
them built sat current prices" as to
brickwork, and charge them to the
building contractor, the matter to be
settled on it's merits hereafter. The
main object at present was to get on
with the work.
Mr.. Seeley then said nine cars OF ma
chiner6 had arrived In the city, and the
question was, what was to be done with
IL. The railroad people wanted the
cars. and the station building was not
ready. Three cars had been unloaded
and stored under the sheds at the gas
works, but the capacity OF the sheds was
exhausted.
Mr.. Bleoo-We got the engines ready,
supposing the city wanted them on
time: we got them here, and you're not
ready. If we ship them back to Hamil-
ton, o., probably when the city wants
them she can't get them. We dealt
with other people, and they supposed
the building was ready.
Mr.. Dunlevy-Didn't Mr.. Seeley no
tifv Won not to ship the engines?
Mr.. Bleoo-Yes, but when we re-
ceiyed it. the engines were on the cars
and on the way.
Mr.. Seeley-It's this way. They have
q contract saying they must set up the
machinery within the building, and
that they're ready to do it. They claim
that it's no fault of theirs that the
building is not ready.
II was finally concluded that the city
ought to provide place OF storage,
for her own convenience, and It was
agreed to rent the old Bodley building,
on Nineteenth street, and store the
machinery there, the contractors to be
at all expense OF moving.
Contractor Brook, who is putting up
the building, then said he had the walls
ready for the iron roof. but that the
roof was not present. The Secretary
said he had been advised that part OF it
had been shipped, and the Architect
said he had seen Mr.. Van Dorm, in
Cleveland. and after good deal OF
tronble they had found the roof con-
tract, and got things expedited In a
fashion.
The Secretary was instructed to noti-
fv the contractor to commence the erec-
ton of the roof at once.
Mr.. Seeley was asked about the boil
ers. and said they were not ready, as he
had not been notified OF the test. de
thought committee of the commission
onpht to 60 with him to Oil City to see
the test. Each boiler was to be insured
against explosion for one year, in the
snm of $4,000. The big smoke stack
was not ready, either.
The question of changes in the loca-
ton of lights was then taken up, 1t be.
ing the last call, as the stringing OF
wire will commence in few days. 1t
was found that the action OF the Com
mission in agreeing to provide eight
lights for the new bridges had overload
ed No. Q circuit, leading to the Island,
giving it SS lights where 1t was only In
