sion it was reported to its members
that the awarding of the contract to
Prior C Brock would precipitate law
suit, and the matter was referred to
Samuel d. Oliphant, counsel for the
commission who said it would be un-
safe to give tho work to the Trenton
firm. We abided by the Judgment of
counsel and gave the contract to Doak
& Co. the lowest regular bidders, after
a representative of that firm had given
assurance that all sub-contracts, except
the electric wiring, would go to Tren-
ton men.
+ "At the Mechanics Bank meeting to
which Mr. Brock referred, the latter
said he had proposal from the Yer
mont quarries 10 supply the marble
for less than the Fowler price. /
made it my business to inquire and
found that in numerous instances the
Vermont figures were higher than
those of Mr. Fowler. then requested
Mr. Brock to produce evidence con-
cerning his statement In regard to
prices and he did not do so.
"The commission has examined into
the merits OF the Fowler marble and
has found that marble to compare
favoraby with any in the country.
After thoroughly discussing the matter
the commission decided ON the Fowler
product. A trip was made to Wash
ington and the buildings there con-
structed of Fowler marble were as fine
as any in the city.
1T is the intention of the commits
sion to visit the Fowler as well as the
Vermont quarries for further con-
sideration of the subject"
