FURTHER HEARING
OF LEAGUE CHARGES
Mayor Taylor Resumes Inquiry
Concerning Construction of
County Infirmary
Testimony Regarding Material
Used by Contractors in Re-
inforcing of Concrete

Confusing technical questions were
again feature of the hearing>y ester-
day before Mayor Taylor of the charges
against the members of the board of
public works because OF the use of an
alleged inferior reinforcing metal In
the concrete work of the city and
county inirmary
After Carl Simons, estimator for the
Thompson Sterrett company, had testi-
fled that his firm was one of the bid
ders on the building and that he had
figured on Clinton fabric, to the use
of which the good government league
objected, Prof. Charles Derleth Jr, head
of the department of civil engineering
in the University of California. was
called by Attorney Milton URen for
the compliments. He testified that he
had seen the plans and specifications
and expressed the belief that a concrete
slab reinforced with twisted steel rods
would be stronger than a slab in which
the Clinton fabric was used
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
The following question by the attor-
ney for the successful bidder will give
an idea of the nature of the examins-
ton.
Professor Derleth what load will a
slab sustain where Clinton fabric is
used. where the span is feet inches,
the mesh 4 by L inches. the size of
the wire No. g and No. TO- the slab
three inches thick, with .0S7 steel?"
No one can tell how much such
slab Will hold before breaking-pos-
sibly $50 pounds, but half that would
be dangerous"
CONSULTING ENGINEER TESTIFTES
Sherman A. Jubb, the consulting en-
gineer who prepared the specifications
for the infirmary building, told of his
extensive experience in concrete work
and how ne had been requested by the
late City Architect Newton Tharp to
prepare the plans and specification. He
testified that he considered Clinton
ia brio superior material for reinforcing
floors and had provided for it's use as
an alternative In the specifications.
THE contractors" said Jubb. had an
absolute right to use Clinton fabric"
He testified further that after the
contract had been awarded he desig-
mated the sizes of fabric to be used
and that these sizes had been used in
the construction. He had accompanied
Tharp to the building several times
while the material was being used and
Tharp had spoken approvingly of the
work.
At this stage OF the inquiry Mayor
Taylor announced recess until next
Tuesday afternoon at o'clock. The
situation now is that the compliments
are trying to show that while the
fabric is adequate. it is not as good as
would have been the case had twisted
steel bars been used.
