As the result OF an inquiry among
the district judges of Kansas on the
operation of the Kansas divorce laws
the Topeka Mail and Brceze finds that
divorces are rapidly increasing; that in
the opinion of nearly every district
judge in the state it is too easy to oh
tain divorce in Kansas: that great
many divorces are obtained through
collision and n one-sided hearing; that
the marriage relation is too lightly re-
garded, and that the safety and best
interests of the social state demand
many important amendments to the
existing divorce laws.

Gentlemen-In your issue of the 21st
of January you stated in your paper,
through your Newport News correspon-
dent. that contractors for new Jail
building are required to pull down the
walls
You will please make the following
statement:
There was no dispute between the
city authorities and the contractors
over the lime, sand or mercantile brick,
There was clause in the specifca-
tons that says the pressed brick used
in the front walls of the building shall
be figured at SIS per thousand, and this
was the bone of contention. The con-
tractors claimed this figure meant laid
In the walls and The city authorities
understood 1t meant delivered on the
site of the building. The contractors
purchased pressed brick from Lynch
burg and their color did not suit them.
and they at once instructed their
then purchased another lot of the p,yri-
hatan Clay Company and this lot OF
Drlclt was the shipment that the Build
ing Committee rejected, and asked the
contractors to take down this wall
which was only laid up twenty-one
courses of brick. and when the city
authorities and the contractors met in
Joint session this point was the only
one i'll controvcrsy-that is what was
meant by the language i'm the spccin-
cations pressed brick in front of the
building to be figured at SIS per thous-
anu-the city authorities maintaining
one thing. the contractors another
the city authorities wanted a pressed
brick the same color as those used in
the front of the Courthouse, so as to
nave the two buildings of uniform
color When this was known the con-
tractors at once agreed that If this was
.he only contention. the same would
De at once complied with. and that part
OIL the front wall containing the pressed
brick referred to is now being taken
down and the hydraulic pressed brick
oeing laid in their place. while the
contractors feel they was right in their
construction OF the language of the
specifications and could have gained
their point in either a law suit or arbi
ration they did not subject the city
10 clther expense, but of their own free
VIII and accord made this concession
without controversy, and all parties
are satisfied. This statement is the
naked fact and we desire you to give
the same publicity TO this article as

greatly oblige the contractors.
