The stone used for range work below
water table is not of as good quality Is
specified. having seams or flaws in it aud
strraky aud dlscolored from oxide Of iron
in various places.
Concerning the ACCESSIBILITY of carry
jug the foundations TO such depth as has
tecn donc my opinion is that the whole
building. except the tower. would have
had safe foundation Of a depth of 6 to
+ feet down ny making a concrete foot
ing Of ample DIMENSIONS. and so distrlb
utlng tho weight over a large area.
Nhis Wouln uHve made a foundation
au1ut as go.l OIL, the one now in, and
by exercising proper care in filing in eX
c&vations on g outside of walls there
wauld be no =, * f surface water soak

This is as near AS | can give an opinion
with the materials placed in my hands.

In making this estimate | have as
sumed that If in the twelve holes that
were dug by the committee the superln-
tendent's measurements for depth were
found on an aver*ge to be correct II
would be just to presume that al Of his
depths as noted in his estimates or notes
would be correct.
In the accompanying plans | have
drawn the cross sections OF the wall as
they actually are in place in the twelve
holes and the red line at the bottom
showing the superintendent measure
ments. In several cases they we're exact
and the line comedies with the base of
the foundation. In other places there is
a slight discrepancy, but not enough 20
make much difference in an estimate. as
the superintendent's meaeurtmeuts may
have been taken in a different place, and
consequently ! have assumed ali lis
depths as correct. The tOotings
are drawn in full black lines
on the cross section plan, just as
they are spec,tied in the specllca,i"ne
and the dotted lines represent them as
