II move that the superintendent
of buildings and grounds be forbid
den to have interviews with the
newspapers" he said. s'What Is the
uss of giving the people all of this
stuf?"
II g board approved the statement
Of Member Christian and It is prob
able that in the future Mr.. wilson
will take care on his statements
with the scribes
Mr.. Wilson states that he Is dis.
gusted with the slow WORK of the
contracting firm, which Is erecting the
e capes. but belieGed that the work
was for the most part very accept
able. lie thought that the firm
manager ought to know If the in
spector would accept the escapes or
not when completed.
Mr.. Wilson was quoted as disap-
proving Of the action of the company
in making holes through the blilding
and covering up their work. The
manager stated that he had been
given permission to do this by Mr..
Wilson and the statement met with
no denial.
TIE contracting manager, who was
present, also said tha. the statement
that they were taking no extra
trouble to have the work completed
was erroneous as they were working
as rapidly as the material arrived in
the city. He stated that the work was
hindered by wrecks. mishaps and
factories shutthng down. 1t is be-
lieved that the work will be finished
In two weeks.
Mr.. Christian asked II the escapes
were being constructed according to
the specifications or the inspector.
''They are most certainly" replied |
the manager. 1--WE are not building
the escapes to be torn down again, |
work and the statement that we
are doing poor work, are in no hurry
and that we are embarrassed in the
wor kis false. We will admit that
the work has been very slow and
We wish II were completed by this |
time and hope that 1t will be within |
to weeks"
Mr.. Jacoby closed the controversy
by saying that tie matter was in |
the hands OF the committee and that |
there was little use of the board con-
sidering the matter. The chairman |
OF the committee was absent. Ac- |
oording to statements of this COM |
mlttee the members are not pleased |
with the progress OF the work. The
work even though slow was worthy |
and that he reports that the COM
pany as not doing good work was
on injustice.
IA resolution was passed, re-
questing the State Railway commits
sion to have the Hooking Valley and
Pennsylvania railroads place a
crossing. Mr.. r. G.. Thompson was
present and stated that his son in

cross two railroad tracks and he be-
lieved IL dangerous. II is believed
that the watchman will be placed
there soon and the anxiety of the
parents in that vicinity will be
lessened.
