Senator Otis T. Wngo of the Joint Capitol Investigating Committee, submitted a minority report. After going Into details in regard to character of stone thickness of stone, iron work left out and basement floor contract. tue report closes as follows
 T cannot agree with the majority in all the recommendations they make. concur in the opinion that an expert superintendent of cor struction should be employed tu be present at all times to see that the work is carried out according to contract instead of leaving II r. the commissioners. who know nothing ot tha technicalty of construction t0 superintend the construction by occasional visits to the city. Inasmuch as our expert is of the opinion that the building cannot be completed within the next two years, I opposed tn any additional appropriation to be paid bY tax upon the people. If any additional appropriation Is made. it should be kept out of the hands of Caldwell X Drake In fact I think the state has ground. upon which to abrogate their contract aud should do so. and let the contract for the completion to another contractor.
 ''In view of Architect Manns action with reference to altering the specifications. and the zeal which apparently he has disp'ayed in behalif of the contractors md not the state which he should represent. I would reeomme nd that his services be dispensed with
 While I hope that the materials used are of that character that will give tp the state q building ot which her citizens will be proud and while I further believe that the .'fact r of safety" as recognized by architects. render s the building safe. still I cannot refrain from saying that the building is disappointment to me and fear that time win not improve lis appearance l am therefore of the opinion that been complied with and thereby the state has been defraaded of thousands of dollars.

(5) Thickness of Stone.

Ii has been charged that the ashler stone used ill the construction of the building does not comply with the plans, specifications and contract in reference to the thickness. In order to ascertain the average thickness of the stone used your committee had number of holes bored through the stone In order that they would be enabled to measure the same. This disclosed the fact that this stone will average from four to eight inches. some of the stone being much thicker and req ching entirely through the wall.
