GILBERT SHIFTS BLAME
architect Explains Hitch IN Brook-
lyn Building Construction.

Bradford Lee Gilbert. the supervising architect
whom the January grand jury in Kings County
held to be censurabe for the delay in the construc
ton of the Brooklyn building OF the Board of
Health. at Willoughby street and the Flatbush
avenue extension. emphadcally denies such respon-
sibility. He says that the delay in the work has
been due TO the fact that the Board of Health did
not back him in enforcing his interpretations Of
the specifications. There have been almost
slant disputes between the contractor and supervis
ing architect since the beginning Of the work
Commissioner Darlington, of the Health Depart
rent- thought he had ended the trouble when. on
sent notice to Mr.. Gilbert that the board had dis
pensed with his services supervising architect
and terminated his contract
Refusing TO accept such termination. Mr.. Gil
bert replied In a letter to DR.. Darlington in which
he said in part
of the board Any and all delays that have taken
to take place are only such delays as have ATTENDED
efforts to compel tbs contractor TO perform his
contract with the city
Although the Board OF Health has appointed an
other firm supervising architects in place Of Mr.
Gilbert. the latter is still exercising his supervision
OF the work and sending weekly reports to DR..
Darlington If. as seems likely, the city refuses to
pay him for his work he intends to bring suit, and
the story of the disputes since the beginning of the
work will be brought out in court
F. Gallagher, the contractor, contended before
the Board of Health that the delay was caused be-
cause Mr.. Gilbert did not furnish him certain in
formation regarding the plans soon as called for.
The contract was awarded in August, 1907. calling
for the completion of the building In 2S5 working
days. That time expired last October. No work
beyond the foundation done before last June
and the building is not above the first story
steel work.
The contract calls for a four story building Of
granite and marble, to include Offices clinic and
garage to cost soma S2S3ocO. It is badly needed.

building entirely unsutted for the purpose

starting OF each Of the contestants and the flyer
who arrives within radius of ten miles OF the
State Capitol in the shortest time wins the prize
Dirigible balloons and aeroplanes may alight for
gasolene or repairs frequently may be neces-

winning Of the prize, A may stop dozen
times the way, but If he reaches his destination
by fight in less time than the others the money
