Recommends Advice of Competent

Plans Are Accepted.
Columbus, Mont, Dec. rs, 1902.

Columbus, Mont, Dec. rs, 1902.
Editor Gazette:
It appears to the taxpayers in this
part Of the county that the board OF
county commissioners acted with un-
haste in the matter Of letting a
contract for the plans for a new
court house and Jail building at Bill
ings.
In talking with a member of the
board last Tuesday night l was given
to understand that the commissioners
had plenty of time to consider the
matter and that the utmost care would
be exercised and due and deliberate
consideration given to the half dozen
plans submitted. l hardly think that
the honorable board gave the propo-
.sition sufficient consideration, for
within "a hours after the CONVERSE
ton alluded to a provisional contract
was signed, sealed and delivered to
Architect Bell of Helena.
I know nothing as to the relative
merits of the respective plans sub
mitted; but l do know that consider
able criticism has been passed upon
work done by Architect Bell in other
PARTS of the state. These matter
should be looked into before the COM
missioners go ahead with the Bell
plans.
There is another matter which l
think the county commissioners
should do before the county is fully
committed to the acceptance of the
Bell plans. They should call in a
number of competent builders and
seek their advice as to the desirability
OF the plans submitted by that gen.
tleman. 1t certainly would do no
harm to secure all the information
possible before going ahead with the
construction of the county buildings,

AS The Gazette understands it the
acceptance of the Bell designs is only
temporary or provisional and that
the real acceptance or rejectment OF
the plans will be made at the meeting
of commissioners to take place on jan
nary 21, next. If at that time the
final plans submitted by Mr.. Bell are
not satisfactory to the board then
that body is not obliged to enter into
a contract with that achitect. While
the commissioners require that Arch
itect Bell shall deposit a certified
check in the sum of $1,000, payable
to the order of the chairman of the
board of county commissioners, as a
forfeit if under the plans submitted
then they cannot erect the buildings
for not exceeding SIS, 900, but if this
can be done it does not necessarily
follow that the commissioners must

a strong effort is being made to stop
all sweeping in the railroad yards OF
Superior and Duluth.
For years the railroads have allowed
car sweeping to go under certain con-
ditions, but the grain men have al
ways had trouble on account Of the
sweepers- There have been numer-
Gus arrests made, but while the rail.
roads allowed the privileges, they
have been abused and a vast quantity
of grain has been stolen every year.
Every effort is heing made by the
grain men to stop this work.
The railroads have decided to with
draw the privileges allowed the cal
sweepers and will assist the grain men
in their efforts to stop the almost
wholesale thievery that has beer
going on.
The city officials have promised theil
support, and it looks as though the
days of car sweeping were past.
