STATE CAPITOL IS
IN DANGER FROM
DEFECTIVE WALL
End Might Fall in Severe Storm
Because of Lack
of Mortar.
1sneoIal to the Newark star.l

TRENTON, Aug. 16.-In removing
the Indiana stone from the westerly
end of the State House preparatory to
erecting the new addition authorized
by the Legislature. it has been discov-
cred that the interior of the wall was
never properly constructed.
The front wing of the capitol was
completed in 1889 and was erected fol-
lowing the fire of March 21, 1885, which
completely destroyed the old front
portion of the building. The contrac-
tor was the late Robert S. Johnson. Of
this city.
The stone was carefully removed
from the end of the State House to
use it on the front of the addition, in
order that the front of the new part
might exactly match the present front.
In this way the whole interior con-
struction of the wall has been exposed.
showing the faults. The exterior stone
work and the interior terra Gotta ap-
pear to have been properly laid. 1t
was in the brickwork between, forming
the centre of the wall, that the work
was skimped.
Bricks Thrown In Loosely.
The exposed work shows that most
of the bricks were simply laid in loose
iy without mortar or other binding
material. In some sections the bricks
were stood on end instead of laying
them In the proper manner. In some
other sections the wall indicates that
the bricks were merely dumped in
loosely from the hod.
Whe. State Architect George E.
Poole, who drew the plans for and
has charge of the construction of the
addition discovered this condition of
the wall. he became fearful of tn re-
suit should a protracted storm break
Mr.. Poole thought a severe storm
might damage 1t so 1t would fall. He
put the situation up to the State House
Commission, composed of the Cow
ernor, the State treasurer and the
State comptroller. and it WAS decided
that the wall must be strengthened
This will be done by putting con-
crete facing on it. The State House
Commission decided that it would be
too risky continue building oper-
ations without strengthening the wall
The situation recalls the strenuous
fight made after the fire to remove
the capital to Newark. This PROPOSE
ton was defea after a picturesque
political fight. The present front was
then authorized, The. walls were to
be of olid" fireproof brick masonry
faced with light-coor Indiana stone,
known as Salem Colithic
The first appropriation for the new
front was made in 1885 and was $50, :
900. In 1886 a further appropriation of
$25501 was made.
