A criticism of the materials and
workmanship in the Austine Institution,
which is being erected by a legacy from
Col. William Austne and an appropria-
ton by the legislature of Vermont, having
been published the trustees secured
Prof. j. w. votey of the College of En-
cheering of the University of Vermont,
who is a recognized authority on mat
ters of this kind, to make a thorough
inspection of the property and report
upon 1t. Prof Votey made a careful
examination Monday and reported his
findings. Following is letter from the
trustees, the correspondence and the re-
port:

Editor of The Vermont Phoenix, Brattle-
boro, VT.
Dear Sir: VIII you kindly publish in
your paper the following letters and re-
port of Prof. j. w. Votey of Burling-
ton, VT, head of the College of Engi-
neerng of the University of the state of
Vermont relative to the Austine 1nsti-
tuition building, and greatly oblige
The trustees of the institution, fully
conceeding the right of criticism and diff
ferences of opinion, regret that the
building now in process of erection has
apparently incurred such criticism as ev-
idence by the published letter last
week, out nope lnal lne puDllC VIII
kindly suspend judgment until the build
ing is nearer completion, when we think
it will merit full approval
Regarding the items noted by Prof.
Votey as to the replacement of dam
aged stone and cleaning and filling
joints, they will be adjusted at the prop
er time and in the proper way when the
building is cleaned up.
Despite the criticism mentioned, we
believe, and will venture the prediction,
that when completed it will be found to
be one of the handsomest, most substan-
tial and we'll equipped public buildings
to be found in Vermont or elsewhere.

Land at 1886 a Square Foot.

A half lot at the corner of Broadway
and Sith street in New York city was
sold last week for approximately a mil
lion dollars, which means a trlie over
1866 for each square foot unit, This
property adjoins the store of r. H. Macy
q Co. Ten years ago the owners offered
1t to that concern for 1915, 900, but 1t con-
sidered the price exorbtant. Two years
later It was sold to Henry Segel at a
price not disclosed and four years ago
bought back for s525.00O. Even on that
advanced investment a profit of nearly a
hundred per cent will now be realized,

Austine Building, Bratteboro, VT:
Gentlemen: In view of the criticism on
the Austine building which has appeared
in a local paper recently, the trustees in
justice to all concerned, felt that it
would be advisable to have the building
inspected by some thoroughly competent
and impartial party outside of Brattle-
boro, or anyone connected with the in
sttution, and have therefore requested
Prof. j. w. Votey of Burlington, VT.
who is dean of the College of Engineer
ing of the state university, to make such
inspection.
This letter will introduce to you Prof.
Votey, and we would request that you
afford him every facility and all infor-
nation he may desire to that end.
