Auditor Smiley as an Expert on Ci
Hall Iron.

Auditor Smiley an Expert on City
Hall Iron.
The meeting of the new City Hall Com
missioners yesterday morning was lively
one. 1t was called to examine into the
charges which had been made against Me-
Cam and Mckay. the contractors, by
Auditor Smiley in connection with the iron
work in the northeast wing. Smiley charged
that the iron used was not up to the standard
called for in the specifications. Mayor
Sanderson had the specifications at hand
and certificates of test from HolbroOk, Mer-
rill and Stetson, w. w. Montague and The
Dunham, Carrigan, Hayden Co., saying
that the iron was that called for in the
specifications. Mr.. Smiley did not care for
these tests, and he had gauged the iron him.
self and if 1t was not No. 20 he would eat 1t.
The meeting began to grow warm, and
Architect Havens demanded 70 know what
Smiley meant when he accused him OF being
in colluSiOn TO pass on the work.
The auditor said that the article in the EX-
aminer quoting him as saying thatthe archi-
tect would wink at the bad work was not
correct.
Charles Ulrch, who wrote the interview,
maintained that Smiley had said exactly
what he reported him as saying. and de-
scIibed how he gesticulated in his excite
ment AS there were no witnesses at the
interview, Mr.. Urich said il was question
of veracity between him and the auditor.
The auditor paid q high compliment to the
ability of the architect, ana Havens retired
Modified, and destroyed the papers he had
drawn in libel suit against Mr. Smiley.
The latter referred to stuffed walls and
blown-out windOw-frames, hut the Mayor
remarked that these had nothing to do with
the present commission, and Hughes, the
Superintendent. said that he had done his
duty faithfully, and if there was anybody
TO blame it was Architect Patton, who
drew up the specifications and made the
grade of iron too light. The iron furnished
was called for in the specifications.
Contractor MeCann responded briefly,
saying that no windows had been blown
out under his contracts, and that he had
nothing to do with stuffi1g walls. The in
dentations, he said, were made in the iron
because it was too light and that was not
bis fault, but that of the man who had
drawn the specifications No action was
taken in the matter. aud the commissioners
passed a demand from McCanu end Nc
Ray for S35l9 on another contract.
