LATENSER AND ROWE BID
W. F. Debates the Matter
that Came Before the Open
Board.

OMAHA, Oct. Ito the Editor OF The
Bee: In your report of the meeting OF the
school board Monday night you seem to me
to miss the point In the matter Of Rowe
and Jatenser and the heating plant in the
new High school building. l did not charge
the architect with anything. / asserted
that he did all possible to prevent Rowe
getting the contract. An effort was even
made to throw out Rowe's bid, when he
was the lowest bidder, because of some
supposed irregularity. The committee as
a whole did not know why so much opposi-
tion to Rowe.
did assert at the meeting on Monday
that Rowe had informed me that he had
testified before the grand Jury that Lat
enser, in his own office, asked him how
much he would give him to get the con-
tract; that he answered him that he would
not give him / cent. Rowe further asserts
that he testified before the grand jury that
in the matter Of the Pacific school heating
plant Latenser asked him IL he would give
him $500 IL he would get him the contract;
that he swered as afterward In the mat
ter Of the High school. and another con-
tractor got the work.
/ know nothing about the facts Of this
grand jury testimony, but IL it was given
dS MI hOWt dSstENS anu WAS n Simple re-
cital Of facts. it perhaps furnishes all the
explanation necessary as to Rowe's diff
Guilty in getting the contract and his diff =
Guilty in carrying it out. l understand that
Mr.. Rowe has done business long enough
in Omaha to establish a reputation for
strict honesty. AS to Mr.. Latenser, the
committee has had difficulty at a number
Of other points. the plaster and stone
carving contracts, for example, neither Of
which is finally settled.
The school district of Omaha has paid
John Latenser, architect, in the past four
years some Sic, 900. The district has. a
right TO expect q quality Of service and q
quality Of out and out honesty that cannot
be questioned. Mr.. Latenser stated in the
meeting on Monday night that he might be
dishonest, but you can't prove it," We
ought not to be asked to.
