CALLS DOWN THE BOARD
Contractor Spencer Wouldn't Stand
for Proposed Changes.

For three hours last night the MEM
hers of the school board and the con-
tractors who are to erect the Central
Park building discussed the details of
the construction work and adjourned,
leaving many of the important de-
tails to be settled at later meeting.
Contractor Spencer, who is to con-
struct the building, protested against
the action taken by the board at the
time he was awarded the contract by
which 20 per cent of the cost was to
be withheld until the building is COM
pleted.
After the contract was let the
board made several changes without
consulting the contractor and this was
one of them. The board also stipu-
lated that the building should be COM
pleted by the first day of January.
1909. Contractor Spencer took ex-
ceptions to both of these changes and
the board reconsidered its action and
but 10 per cent of the cost of the
building is to be withheld and the
builders will have until the first of
May. 1909, in which to complete the
building.
The board was not in favor of
resembling it's action relative to the
amount of money to be withheld or
the time in which the building was to
be completed until Mr.. Spencer in
plain language laid down the law to
the members. "I was not present when
these changes were made and will not
accept them. You have the wrong
man if you think that 1 will accept
this contract as it has been changed.
1 am now erecting the Capper building
which will cost $150,O00 and have
built a number of large buildings in
Topeka, including the Manual train
ing school, and have never had more

'It would be an impossibility to
construct the building by the first of
the year as the board has stipulated
and do the class of work which should
be done. / should be allowed at least
ten months in which to construct a
building such as the Central Park
school is TO be and according to the
ruling of the board if the building is

have less than six months in which to
complete the work.
much of course depends upon the
class OF weather we have this winter
but under the most favorable circum-
stances / should have ten months in
which to complete the building. / in
tend IL possible to have the building
enclosed before the severe weather of
the winter commences but this will
depend upon how soon 1 can get to
work on the building"
The board finally changed its rulings
which were made at the time the con-
tract was awarded and Mr.. Spencer
will have until the first of May in
which to complete the building and
will ave but 10 per cent of the cost
of construction withheld. Changes
made in the specifications call for an
additional expenditure of something
like $4,000 and the general estimate
of the sum necessary to construct the
building was changed from fifty to
ffty-two thousand dollars.
