changes made by Engineer Miller were
entirely satisfactory to the board. The

COURT HOUSE SPEClFI-
CATIONS.
Andrews, Jacques & Rantoul, the ar
chitects for the new court house, have
sent typewriter sheets embodying the
proposed in the interior work
of tine new building, to cut down the
estimate below 100000, to all fourteen
bidders who entered the competition;
and the bidders are given until Friday
to make the changes In the estimates
and file their modified bids, although no
definite assurance is given that the con-
tract will be awarded, even If the bids
be below 5000, 900. The specifications, as
modified and sent to the general con-
tractors, Wednesday, eliminate the
great display of bronze work, which
amounted to between $4,000 and $25000,
and the Sienna marble, with the fine I'm
ish of the interior. Mr.. Rantoul was
confident that the changes will enable
the contractors to lower their estimates
$50, 900 or more, so that their grand es-
innate will be close to 100000 An
other feature in the modified speciflca-
tions is that the basement be not so
deep into one foot into the ground,
which, it is thought, will be an incident
al saving of some value.
Other changes on a line with this are
provided for. The bidders are asked
= l. l. LN.,i.5 cub
nit their bids with the notifications in
their estimates, which they are enabled
to make by reason of the scaling down
of the plans for fine interior work and
finishes. An agreement as to the deci-
sive course may be reached at that time,
and the question settled, although there
is good deal Of doubt expressed that
the contractors will be able to make the
notifications of their original bids in
the four days allowed them; and, even
If they were, if they would care to take
the extra effort, not knowing whether
the contract would then be awarded or
not. There has been a general feSling
against sacrificing the interior finish at
all; and, If the county is to have court
house, to have one magnificent through
out,
There is more talk of a petition to the
legislature to secure an increased ap-
preparation, that no scaling may be nee
essary; but the commissioners have
given no authoritative approval of this
plan as yet, What modified estimates
are submitted Friday will be examined,
and at the same time Messrs Andrews
and Rantoul of Boston will be present,
and if no contract is let, the course of
action to be pursued will be an
nounced.
