the great fire in Baltimore and ride through
the burned district discloses the fact that rather
poor progress has been made toward rebuild

struck. No doubt it will be years before the
city will assume its old aspect

Mr.. Perky Has Financial Troubles
dispatch from Worcester. Mass, on Friday
of last week said Henry D. Perky, proprie-
tor of the Dread Institute, which was located
in Worcester until last June, when IL was re-
moved to Dread Baltimore county, Md, has
been sued in the Worcester County Superior
Court for SIS, 900 by Henderson & Co., general
contractors. of Philadelphia.
.'The suit is to recover for work and materi.
ais used in the construction of the new Dread
building, which was commenced in June and
is now practically completed. The suit arises,
it is said, as a result of dispute regarding GER
tain conditions of the contract, and the firm
has attached the property of the defendant at
Worcester. The writ is returnable the first
Monday in November"
In explanation of the above Mr.. Perky said
81 can only express my chagrin and regret
that the attachment sued out c0mpels me to
lose whole year in opening the school at
Dread. Let me say that there can be no ques-
ton of my having paid every dollar of my
obligation up to date on my buildings. The
whole matter is question of what the obliga-
tions are, and these the contractors. Messrs.
Henderson & Co., on the one hand, and /, act
ing under the advice OF an architects expert,
differ.
Buildings were contracted for to cost about
$4,000. | was to make monthly payments
upon certificates from the architects, Essen.
vein & Johnson, of Buffalo. Imade payments
for July and August that amounted to about
$4,000. The third payment-of September 10
was withheld on the advice of the architects,
whose representative, Mr.. Thompson, an
construction. Later Architect Essenwein him
self told Mr.. Henderson in my presence that
the building was unsafe.
II had expected to open the school on Sep
TENDER 7, since the contractor was to finish the
buildings by September 1. Failing in this, the
contractor stated that it would take q month
longer and set the opening for the early part
of October. Upon further advice from the ex-
pert found myself unwilling to put the stu
dents and faculty to still greater uncertainties
of postponements and notified the members of
both groups that we should not open until the
autumn Of 1905.
"My property at Worcester cost me $40, 600,
and improved it to the extent of $35 600. The
sale of this felt, would make my project per-
fectly safe, but nothing can be realized from
sale now, with the attachment lying upon it..
81 wish to add that every contractor of this
locality who has done any work at Dread will
be paid in full"
Mr.. Perky purchased FiIston Farm, at Glen.
coe, Baltimore county, last spring for the pur-
pose of removing the Dread Institute of Domes-
tic Science there from Worcester. An extern
sive auditorium is in course of construction
and other buildings are contemplated.
