After months Of wrangling between the
Board OF County Commissions and County
Architect Latenser on one side and Cald-
well q Drake. county building general
contractors on the other over alleged un-
satisfactory work and slow progress in
construction Of the building. the board
almost adopted a resolution yesterday
that would bring the contractors to time.
Commissioner Harte was afraid the gen.
eral contractors might find In the resolu.
ton some excuse for forfeting their CON
tract and suggested that the county at
torney's office approve the resolution be-
fore its adoption. 1t was referred to the
county attorney
The resolution refers specifically to the
attitude Of the general contractors In the
matter Of vault doors which are not up
to specifications and is as follows.
Whereas. II has been reported to the
Board OF County Commissioners that the
architect, John Latenser has condemned
and rejected the vault doors Of the new

Whereas, The contractors, Caldwell &
Drake, have been notified that the same

More than two weeks ago severe critl-
cism OF the work on the county building
by Mr.. Latenser and Commissioner Harts
moved the board to agree to summon
Caldwell q Drake and their bondsmen
for thorough threshing out OF county
building matters, The meeting was to
have been held as soon as Mr.. Caldwell
or Mr.. Drake should reach the city.
Since then Miss Sinclair and Mr.. Zeigler
have been expecting MIR. Caldwell to ar

she says that in all Of her experience in

During the cold spell we helped hun
dreds OF persons who were cold or hun

the case. they were pitifully grateful, :"
said the ensign. However. they usually
forget that they have been helped after
they have had their immediate wants
provided for, but in Omaha l have found
II different.
Since the breaking Of the cold spell
and people who were unable to work a
few months ago can work now, we have
had nearly dozen calls and letters from
those who received aid who wish to know
how they can repay us. One man, who

Waterwheels did not really come in
