Gently made charges against the construc-
ton of the new school building on E be-

The report which was submitted last
evening was a long one, and goes over the
whole contention in detail. In conclusion,
it says: Your committee, practical crafts
men of many years experience, with a full
knowledge Of the details of building con-
struction, in the discharge of a conscien-
tious duty to the public, declare the charge
and specifications most positively proved,
with the single exception above admitted.
I'VE reiterate and publicly challenge a
denial that in the construction of the East
school building the contract and Specifica-
stability of the building is impaired and
the public has been grossly imposed upon.
THE committee recommend for favorable
considerat ton that this body request of the
District committee of Congress full in
vestigaticn of the contract method and the
manner of the construction of public build
ings in this District, as a preliminary eff
fort for the repeal of the public contract
law, which fosters dishonesty at the eX-
pense and to the injury of the people"
