that the city possessed plant of sufficient capac-

Thomas w. Smith was the sub
contractor for the woodwork, and
many times Within recent months his
big plant was operated at its maxi

Smith provided altogether fully 19O.-

the building, and, although this was
laid only few weeks ago, all of it was
stacked ON the ground for more than
two years, so that it had the advam=
