Architect Charles Thompson has
reported to the Russellville School
Board that the work in some re-
spects on the new public school
building has not been done in ac-
cordance with the plans and specif-
cations He estimates the damage
to the district to be $1,782. The
principal item complained of is the
blackboaris. These, he says, have
not been constructed according to
the plans and that the work on them
is useless. Another item he criti-
cises is the roofing, which he says
is not up to specification, charging
that inferior timber has been used,
causing the roof to sag. 1t is stat
ed that the building will not be ac-
cepted until the defects complained
Of are remedied.
