Lieutenant Colonel Frank T. Corris-

board, has directed the suspension Of all
work on the new national guard arMory
pending decision Of Building Inspector
James G. Houghton on the work already
done. 1t Is hardly likely that the work
will be resumed for several weeks, as
the building inspection department will
make thoro and painstaking examine
ton and will take its own time too do
SO, as the matter is 2one. Of more than
ordinary public Importance %n{5r
~ 1t has been discovered that the con-
crete work on the third floor was frozen
Immediately after being laid. The con-
crete expert who superintendent tho
construction says that the fact that the
mixture was frozen will not affect the
work; and that it will come out all

y Mr.. Houghton does not: dispute: the
statement, but has announced that he
will not approve it until the fact has
been proved by actual test This can. not
be done before the weather is compare
discovered, in variousseplaces particu-
larly in pillars, and these will be
i watched, for some time. = H.. a%AT 4
Mr.. Houghton said today that he had
not discovered anything faulty With
the walls. From ascursory toutside in
spection the" concrete> material appears
to be fairly good and, at any rate, was
much better than the material used in
the footlngs Of, the interior, pillars.
Nevertheless in view Of the many de-
fects discovered in the interior he
deems it his duty to withhold approval
until the earth is removed from the
foundations SO a proper examination
can be made. '.T. r. = @<-*:' - ....*

Portions of the foorrwhieh were laid
last August and should now be at their

section which is required to support 600
pounds a square foot without yielding;
sagged H-l6ths of an inch when :220
pounds had been loaded on. The test
naturally stopped right there. Another
section calculated: to aibear: the same

The sale of the property at Lind

were purchased from Mrs., E. P. Saw

donated 500 to the society. The
property is valued at $4,000. 49,:
Property Well Suited.
T. The Forest Lake lodge is far better
suited to the purposes Of the society
than the Lindstrom property. The
lots are high, have fine trees and the
beach is excellent. The view over the
lake is beautiful and the situation is
convenient. It is west Of Lindstro1n,
