ract, SO generally fall below from
having bid against the rawest
competition and underbid till hard
ly dollar remains for margins,
we but seldom have an opportunity
for noticing a first-rate work on
building architecture. But in the
case of Mr.. Thornton and the new
court house, although forced by
underbids to take the work SO
cheap we are told as to lose about
$500, he is yet finishing it up IN
first-class workmanship style, slight
ing no part of it, and even doing
better work, much of it not being
required in his contract. Surely
one so governed by a sense of duty
to the public and justice toward the
mechanic art which he processes
and refuses to degrade, should be
remembered by the building public
everywhere in the letting of good
contracts for excellent work. And
we do hope the building art will
soon cease to be virtually a failure
at least not be longer degraded
by sighting and false work through
the necessity arising from excessive
undertaking. Rather, let all do
as Mr.. Thornton has-live up to
their contracts though it cost their
bottom dollar. And then there will
be honors left, enough to make a
sure foundation to success and
fortune.

name Of the town. The opponents
of the change expect to resort to all
honorable means for undoing the
acts of the legislature and the post
