consider they can make political cap

GUY H. MOORE,
Treasurer

The chairman of the Buildings and
Grounds committee reported that
their inspector or superintendent of
construction, Mr.. Benson, had re-
ported that he was having a little
difficulty with the contractors. Nc
Cleod & Smith, regarding the amount
Of cement to be used in the mortar.
He stated that they figure that the
specifications call for about two bags
of cement where there should be
about sixteen, and that at the rate
they were using it, they would be
ahead of the game about $4,000 a
week. He also stated that he had
rejected a stone window stool, but
instead of throwing it out, they had
bricked it In just the same and ap-
parently paid no attention to his OBJ
1ections. Mr.. Benson had taken the
matter up with Mr.. German, the
architect, who. upheld him in his in.
depreciation of the proportion of &C.
ment to be used in the mortar.
After considerable discussion the
chairman entertained the following
motion:
Moved by Mitchell Stewart, second
ed by r. ]. McGhee, that the bill Of
Mcleod & Smith for $3,S50.00 BIZ
not allowed until the mixture of thu
mortar be made according to the
specifications Of the architect, and
the rejected work be removed and
properly replaced.
