abdicate, and Horgan & Slattery had not pro

two captains. each with different ideas OF what
should be done, each giving orders that contra

down and altering the work Of the original
architects, and thus prolonging the job and
vastly increasing the expense. The original
architects have brought suit against the city
for about $4,000, which they declare IS due
them as commission upon work unlawfully
taken out Of their hands and several of the
contractors viii sue for large amounts due for
extra work involved in the changes made by
Horgan & Slattery. The original appropriation
for the new building was about S46O000 made
in 1896 AS the work proceeded it was seen
that about 100000 more would be needed and
this was appropriated in 1898. Friends Of With

first thing they did was to increase the heavi-
ness and thickness of the ironwork of the cells
TO such an extent that il afforded a preteXt
for declaring the structural work of the prison
as designed by the original architects to be too
trau to support such heavy cells They also
added a lot of expensive decorative work, wholly
inappropriate for a prison. The plain, simple
and strong plumbing and heating apparatus
contained in the original plans was superseded
by a highly finished and costly plant; water
tanks and boilers were increased in number and
capacity away beyond the needs of such an in
stitution in the opinion Of experts but it ate up
the appropriation in fine style, and that was
sufficient

$500 600 has been nearly all used up, the finish

months in the future. and third appropriation,
of $3.50 600 has been demanded.

estimates. experts declare that the only altera
