Guckstetter then entered and was
highly indignant when Informed what
the board had done. Sofia voce he made
several remarks uncomplimentarv to his
feilow-members, but made no effort to
have IA reconsideration of the boards
action.
The board then proceeded to consider
the report Of tn" Investigating com
lnittrr. Attorney W. G. Downing an
pearcd to speak in behalf of Architect
White. He said that, as in all rnmmu
mites. IA large element is opposed to
higher education, and consequently to
the construction Of the high school
building. The Investigating COM
mittcc's report is unjust, not in ac
cordancc with the facts, and calculated
to deceive the public. Every witness
was disappointed in Ill attempt to So
cure work on the school building. The
should have called on f. W.
Wright and other members of the old
school board. The committee reported
that the foundation rested on shale rock.
This is what the specifications require
They find no asphaltum on the inside OF
the walls. The time has not yet come
for it, as it extends to the window stills,
which have not been laid. The COM
mittee complains that heavy timbers
rest upon the centers of weak arches
when it knew that White had ordered
these changed. They knew that iron
plates had been ordered in, and Donlin
and Wengrove had 80 testified. Some
members Of the committee had publicly
expressed opinions before the lnvestiga-
ton and could not be impartial. the
say the dirt was not rammed
back, yet any man knows that heavy
stones dropped in and mechanics tramp
ling the earth would ram it back. 1t is
true that circular walls are over hang
ing, but this only tends to make the
building more secure. No change was
suggested by Mckay or White, and,
according to Emerton's testimony, all
except n We're suggested by Emerton
and ordered by the board. These
was entered into. In all buildings
plumbing and steam heating are let
separately. He had searched in vain

innate on the plumbing and steam heat
ing. AS to the charge of collision in
these changes, it is sufficient to say that
Emerton was seldom in accord with the
rest of the committee. AS to the ties
timony of Mcfarland, it was given be
III Mcfarland vas state agent for the
adamant plaster, which the board decid-
ed to not use. Canary testities the corn
ices were to be stone; ,Minter says they
were to be copper. The charge is made
that White and Mckay knew that the
building could not be built for 100000;
yet Leuchars and Mckenzie bid $4,000,
and Strasburg bid SG5,OOO, including
plumbing and steam heating. White
has condemned Mckay stone, brick and
footings. The committee told Ericsson
that they did not want to hear his testi-
mony concerning the stone used. The
committee says the estimate of White of
$3.50 for double corners in excavating
