Contractos Warned That They Must

FaVor;

The Public Buildings Committee of the
Board of Supervisors dragged Bateman
Brothers, the contractors for the Hall of
Justice, over the Goals yesterday and de-
manded an explanation of The slow prog
building.
Architect Shea reported that the
amount of work so far accomplished was
far from satisfactory, and Chairman Shee-
han called upon a member of the con-
tracing firm for the reasons for delay.
Bateman said that the firm was hesitaiing
whether or not TO make a contract with
the Colusa Sandstone Company or open a
quarry of its own. He stated that the
stone selected was the same as used on
the new ferry building, and that the COM
pany seemed 10 have diff II " in furnish
ing sufficl ent Tor that structure.
Architect Shea denied this statement.
He said that he had called on the presi-
dent OF the stone company and had
learned that Bateman Brothers had not
made any effort 10 let contract for the
stone. The president had informed him
that the company had big plant at the
quarry and could turn out as much stone
as was desired. he would agree, Mr.. Shea
said, to begin delivering stone in this City
within three days after signing a contract
Considerable surprise was expressed py

derstand that these delays were rendering
