The first actual work of building the
addition to the state House was begun
yesterday morning with the laying of
the corner stone to the south wing,
which was placed on the foundation
early. and from now on there will be
lively work in that line. A big crew
of men is at work getting the stone
into readiness for its place in the walls
and everything will be pushed as fast
as is consistent with first-class work.
Another new feature i'm the work of
reconstruction which will soon be I'M
derway is that of drilling for the shafts
OF the two elevators which are to be
installed. The contract for this work
is held by the Otis Elevator Co. of Bos-
ton and New York. and one of the big
rotary drilling machines was taken in
to the building yesterday morning
The elevators will be of the hydraulic
type, one being located at the south
side of the rotunda, where the stair
way led from the Office of the secre-
| tary of State to the executive depart
ment, and the other at the north side
of the rotunda near where the ole
stairway led from the superintendent
Office to the second floor. The holes
| to be drilled will be 16 inches in diam
| eter and about the same depth as thai
which carries the shaft of the presen
elevator. To all appearances the drill
ing viii be done in solid ledge as wa.
the case when the present elevate
.was changed to the hydraulic type.

A Communication.
Augusta. March 8, 1916

Augusta, March 3, lSlU.
Editor Kennebec Journal.
Dear Sir:
NY attention has been called 10
statement of Judge Benedict r. Aaher
at the Republican caucus, in which, II
correctly reported, he intimated that
as member of the Board OF Alder
men l improperly voted to purchase a
stone cruz her from the kennebec Con-
structiOn Company. corporation III
which | own one share.
Neither / nor any other Democratic
Alderman voted 10 purchase u stone
crusher of anyone. The Facts Whlcn
may have misled the Judge are THESE:
AS is well known the active work OF
the city government is done largely by
committees appointed by the mayor,
and the committee on highways is one
of the most important of these. Mr..
Holway is chairman of the committee
and MeSsrs Taber and DuttOn are
members on the part of the Aldermen.
No Democratic Alderman is a member
OF the committee
At the May meeting, Mr. HolWay in
behalf OF the committee stated that
if the work contemplated was done an
and recommended that the Mayor and
Committee on Highways he authorized
to purchase one.
Alderman Skehan of Ward seven
questioned the ACCESSIBILITY of such a
purchase.
The following order was then pass
ed:
ordered that the mayor and COM
mittee on highways be authorized to
purchase stone crusher.'
1t will be noticed that this order
placed the entire matter in the hands
of the mayor and committee, leaving
it discretionary with them to purchase
crusher of any person or not to pur-
chase one at all.
In common with all the other men,
bers of the Board. I voted in favor of
this order, believing that the advisa
bility of buying a crusher and the ne
gotiations relative thereto could safely
be left with the mayor and with AL
dermen HolWay. DuttOn and Taber. I
did not then and do not now believe it
to have been improper to leave it to
these men merely because the Con-
Structl0n Co. owned Il cruShcr which
they might buy. With the negotia-
tons betWeen the mayor and commit
| tee and the Construction co. with ref
"rcncc to the purchase of the crusher
had nothing to do.
understand that in June the mayor
and committee bought crusher Of the
company through its manager who
mas had sole charge of it's affairs for
three years that the crusher is a good
one and was purchased at fair price.
NO bill for it has as yet come before
thc committee on accounts, but it was
pad for on Feb. =, last and such a bill
VIII be included in the auditors state
ment for March,
Respectfully yours.
JOS. WILLIAMSON.
