| inches depth. Second floor plan, CO,
| shows beam inches wide, 16 inches in

However, on examination Of con-
crete Specifications page 2, title Floor
Leads, we find the following:

ings designed to carry full live and
dead load.
| This schedule was the schedule fur
| nished by Southern Ferro Concere Co.
| II any mistake was made for carrying
the loads, the county should not be
| chargeable with same. We may say
| further that the substitution of con-
| crete beams for steel ~ beams as
shown on original plans was without
authority from the architect or the
| board so far as We have been able to
| find; also, the change from brick to
| concrete construction had sole relation
| TO the cell block wall of white and ne
gro mems cell block, as we have here
| tofore mentioned.
! This item should be disailowed.
