AGAINST ARCHITECT OF HALL
OF RECORDS

The Board Of Estimate and ApportiOnment met
yesterday and rejected. without opening them all
bids for the interior decorations and hnishings Of
the new Hall Of Records. The bids were rejected
because OF a number OF complaints sent to the

shown certain contractors by John r. Thomas

plans and specifications to John Pierce. who has
the contract for the outside OF the building and
refused them 10 other contractors until within
a few days OF the time for letting the contract
when it was too late for them figure on the
work

lete kind Of refrigerator which IS being thrown
out OF all buildings where in use The second

secure plans for the engineering work A third
protest came from Isaac A. Hopper, contractor,
who said that Mr. Thomas had given John Pierce
the plans TO take home with him and had
fused them 10 other contractors. The fourth pro-
test came from John H. Shipway & Bro and
was TO the effect that they had called FIVE OF six
times at the Office OF Mr.. Thomas and were not
allowed TO the plans
When all the protests had been read Mayor Van
Wyck moved that the bids De rejected without
opening them Mr.. Thomas asked permission to
say word in explanation, which was granted
There has never been public work he said
on which contractors have had as many facilities

plans, asked if ne wanted 70 bid and ne replied
that he did not My office was given over 10 con-
I tractors for the examination Of these plans for
weeks, and Mr.. Mclean the engineer Of the Fl
