pipe coming down from the bath room
through the story below to the out

supposed the pipe to run ole way, and
the superintendent, Hatch, wished it
to run another way, and said to sfiant
that If he would allow $4,000, that he
could run it different way from
what the specifications called for, that
upon examination of the specifications
he found that they called for it to run
the way the superintendent wished 1t,
he so informed the superintendent,
then the superintendent, Hatch, said
to him, "that if you want to get along
with me, you have got to do things the
way l want them" Affiant told him
they would try and suit him as far as
possible, but they had to do the work
according to the specifications, then
Hatch said he did not give damn for
the specifications, the architect, or any
Board, or anybody else, he was going
to have things done the way he want
ed them; he said further, that if they
put that pipe in there he would tear it
out, he didn't care a damn if they tore
the whole floor up, he wasn't going to
have that pipe in there. Mr.. Hatch
got very angry, used grea5 deal of
profane and vile language and became
very much excited. w. Fl. WILSON
