with the progress of the work and
caused the wall to settle The walls
settled while being built, and the
7orkmen were told to straightef
them. The bricks were wet, bu'
not damaged by the rain. The
cause of the wall settling was be.
cause the foundation was not suf.
ficiently strong. The walls were
found out of plumb, but had beer
pried back into place. Work had
been delayed for six weeks on ac.
count of waiting for brick. During
this time there were frequent and
heavy rains. Some of the witnesses
thought sufficient cement had been
used. Others thought more should
have been used with the sand to
make a good foundation. The
north wall had been found ovei
three inches out of plumb. Several
thought that, substantially rodded,
the building would be entirely safe.
Besides bulging of the wall there
are numerous cracks in il, and in
places the mortar is soft.
After the witnesses had been ex.
amined an ad djournment was taken
and the committee proceeded to the
building to make personal exam
