BANCROFT SCORES
CITY'S ARCHITECTS
Supervisor Quotes Reports OF
Works Board to Prove the
Charge Of Inefficiency
Nelson Aids Newsom and Ems
ployes in Defense of Mn-
nicipal Bureau

Supervisor Bancroft yesterday sup
ported his charges that during the
present year the municipal bureau OF
architecture had been inefficient In its
work by providing some estimates and
reports to the building committee.
Works Commissioner Newsom, Acting
City Architect Colmesnil and Assistant
Architect Kern were present to defend
the bureau. Chairman Nelson came to
their aid as opportunity offered, but
the whole session was as smooth as
Mirror lake. The only ripple came
when Nelson inquired of Bancroft:
Then you have no proof of your
complaint that the bureau is spending
its money without results?"
Newsom had just stated that lot
of work was under way, but had not
showed yet.
Il have presented my evidence,
plenty Of It," said Bancroft.
The supervisor showed that during
1909 contracts for schools were let ag-
gregating $2,s27s41. During the nine
months of this year contracts for only
S1,043,7S9 had been closed. Bancroft
also said that by giving the Lowell
high and other schools to outside archi-
tects the board of works had con-
fessed lack of confidence in its
bureau.
Much of the architectural work for
the contracts let in 1909 was done In
1908; Mr.. Bancroft is comparing nine
month with most of two years said
Newsom. Besides, the bureau is
loaded down with a lot of detail work
finishing the schools begun. The
money was in the treasury. There
was plenty of work ahead and in sight
to keep the depa rtment busy. so we
n in h4 to1y, of fcf1 40 oh nt q
to make progress"
The committee took the matter un-
der advisement, but will not back up
Bancrofts charges in it's report to the
board next Monday.
Inspect Bridge Site
Accompanied by City Engineer Man
son, Engineer Phillips and Attorney
Warren Olney Jr. of the Western Pa
cific company. the supervisors of the
streets and public utilities committees
visited the site of a proposed wooden
bridge over Mississippi street between
Twenty y-second and Twenty-third yes
terday to decide whether the company
should be required to build of steel
and concrete at this time. Olney asked
the privilege of installing $4,000
wooden structure for five years service
instead of permanent bridge costing
about 100000. He offered also to give
a circuitous right of way with an easy
grade if the city would close Twenty
second and Mississippi a their juno
ture.
On the ground the plan looked not
only feasible but necessary for the use
of Twenty-second street, a 33 per cent
grade being prohibitive at the point
desired to be closed. The committees
will report Monday.
Manson took the party past the site
Of the Second and Townsend streets
pumping station of the fire protection
system. Here 100 tons of twisted steel
have been laid down to bind together
the Al foot slab of concrete which will
form the monolith foundation for the
power plant.
