would strike the counterweights OF the
ELEVATOR cage, the guides being d.

and directions. We positively stated
that we would not guarantee this pit

81. SHAFT walls TO be plastered.'
The architect and we differed as tS
whether this plasterinl, should be
done. that is, as to the construction of
the specifications. He finally agreed
with us and directed the omission OF

so. Platform unfinished"
So. Section of wood base to be
supplied" This was omitted by the
order of the architect until the metal
contractor should complete his work
The omission and forced stoppage OF
our workmen at that time and place
has caused us more than it would have
cost to put in the step and base. and
there should be no allowance there
for.

not arise from any defect in the con-
struction. or any fault of the contrac-
tor. The architect is of the opinion
that these leaks will be stopped By
putting an outside drip on the sash

authority to give such orders, and
therefore, it has never been done.
The Reef.
50. The roof is not laid according
to the specifications accompanying tho
original plan and Is Of different ma
teriai, but this change was made By
the architect. who gave US writer
order directing the use OF the rcot
roof. That material is laid in strict
accordance with his instructions.
We deny that it leaks badly all oveI
the building, or all over any part Of
the building. There may be a few
leaks, but the leaks which appear IL
numbers are along the outside walls
and the cross walls, and are due IL
our opinion to the fact that the out
side wallis project above the roof. say
twelve feet, are exposed to the south
southeast and southwest storms. an
of brick and leak down into the rooms
below, and to the fact that the cross
walls. also of brick. have never beer
capped for tho reason hereinafter
mentioned, and the water leaks dowE
those walls into the rooms below. W.
decline to relay this roof.
If after the walls mentioned have
been waterproofed by cementing. Of
otherwise. 1t is then found that tht
roof leaks in any particular, thu
county is protected by ave yea
guarantee and during this period W,
stand ready at any time to see tina
this guarantee is carried out and tn
roof kept absolutely tight for tina
period.

an incline might be obtained. TIL
cinder fill was more expensive thai

The architect says in his report tina
the specifications with regard to tn
