After spending practically the entire
day in session, during which the new
county jail building was inspected and
both the report Of Architect l. R. Benz
and that of Architect Geo. Nj. Hopkin-

the board Of county commissioners ad-

definite action on either of the reports.
At the time the meeting adjourned the
two reports were referred to the
county attorney, who will endeavor to
re econcile them and another special
meeting of the board will be held this
morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose
of taking some definite action.
REPORTS ARE SIMILAR.
Although many rurnors had gotten
afioat to the effect that the reports Of
the two architects were greatly at
variance and that some sensations
would be sprung when they were read.
a comparison of them shows that the
architects do not differ in many in
stances. The principal difference in
the two reports is that Hoplinson
claims that some OF the extras should
not be allowed and that some OF the
extra bills presented by the contractor
are excessive.
