These two items should be disallow-

items 40 and so apply with equal force
to these two items; they are both pro-
vided for in the plans and specifica-
tions, and should not be allowed.

eral contractor as follows:

you are hereby instructed to fill in

We are unable to account for this
item, as same should have been taken
up with stucco finish on outside walls,
if it refers to cell block windows. This
item, however, is very vague and un-
certain and we are unable to report on
same. and is referred back to contrac-
tor for further information.

eral contractor as follows:

On page 50, covering Picture Mould
ing. there is none specified for hos
pitfalls, and we do not find same pro-
vided for in the plans, except for court
building on Zarragossa street side.
