The commission concluded that it would
be much better to have the work all don"
By one contractor rather than have sew
eral separate ones, who might be contin
ualy delaying one another, and they de-
cided to award the work to Geo. a. Fui
lie" Co.
For the sake of economy they have
mace several interior changes. which in
no way detract from the integrity of thu
building but leave it convenient. attrac
tive and beautiful. fire-proof and modern
in every respect. The total cost, includ
ing fee of the architect to be $3.50, 80
