One man refused to leave the

The sea was rolling too heavily for
the surfboat to be launched. The men,
therefore, had to go out in the buoy
and ii was only by the most strenuous
endeavors that they succeeded in get

saved him were IIoratio Drinkwater

would be drowned Captain Barco
launched the liceboat and brought his
brave boys ashore. One of the surf
men was washed out of the lifeboat.

PUBLIC eulLD,uo COMMITTEES.
AWARDS CONTRACT FOR I'M
PRONEME.NTS AT CLERKS
OFFICE TO AETNA IRON
WORKS.

The Councils committee on public
buildings met last night at the office
of the city treasurer to consider the
matter OF proposed alterations to the
interior of the clerks Office.
Nirslnian Pilot reporter, who was
present, was informed that the meet
ing would not be open TO the press or
public. but on objection of MIR. j. ..
Pitt. it was decided to hold an open
session.
There were but three bids on the pro-
posed work submitted. These were as
follows: George Duval, $l,675; Harry
Hodges. for the Aetna Iron Works,
Sl.550; e. Patterson, 81. 730.
All of these exceeded the appropria-
ton that had been made for this work.
which was 81 200. The matter was dis
cussed and Mr.. Jacobs moved that the
contract be awarded to Mr.. Hodges.
the balance of the money needed TO be
raised later
Mr.. Jacobs said there were very few
bids; that there may be other people in
the city who did this line of work, and
he had always favored advertising for
bids. 1t was suggested that Mr.. <ier-
nan might be asked to bid, but Mr..
Jacobs stated that he did not do this
heavy line of work.
on notion the contract was award
cd to Mr.. Harry Hodges. and il was
decided to have the city attorney draw
up and approve all necessary papers.
with bond for faithful performance of
the contract according to plans and
specifications submitted. The commit
tee then adjourned.
THE WORK TO BE DONE.
The specifications call for two steel
galleries on the sides of the clerks
office similar to those erected on the
ends some three years ago, and the re-
moval of the wooden floor below this
to be replaced by granolithic flooring
With these changes the available space
win be greatly increased and greater
safety insured for the valuable records
kept there. IT is believed that when
the contemplated changes are made
the clerks Office will be a practically
fire proof structure.
