seem that such a superintendent is
necessary that such defects as have
been found in the city building of
Lewiston may be avoided. In tina city
a handsome building was erected. bur

dedicated. and the beautiful hall or

patches. Steel ceilings have been put

many places the mortar was not

only a quarter of an inch in others.
