labor and materials necessary for the
entire completion of the work intended
to be described, and shall not avail
himself of any manirestly uninten
tional error or omission, should such
exist.
We think that the Turing of walls
around elevator enclosure are included
in the General Contract, and this extra
should not be allowed.
Extra Charsed-lten Covered by
Contract.
SO. Toilet over court, $145.3S.
| The item is intended to be covered
by order from architect to the general
contractor reading as follows:
you are hereby instructed to build
as per detail, toilet over court, and
an extra amounting to one hundred
ninety dollars and thirty eight cents
| G903S) is hereby allowed for same"
| There is $500 discrepancy between
the architects order and contractors
statement rendered, however, this item
should not be allowed for the reason
that the toilet over the court is specifi-
cally provided for on the plans and
dawings for second floor on Sheet No.
2, Original Drawigns.
/ IneompIeted Work Charged For.
/ Sd Frosting windows, $500.
We find order from the architect to
lows:
"You are hereby instructed to frost
kitchen, pantry and dining room and
elevator shaft windows and front stair
window, and an extra amounting to
$500 is hereby allowed for same.
This item is not provided for in the
plans and specifications, but inasmuch
as the concrete slab for the floor in
the kitchen and pantry and dining
room crosses the windows and cuts
them in two; as likewise the front
stairway in court building crosses the
windows, presenting a very bad ap-
pearance, as well as the elevator shaft.
And, in order to cover up these de-
fects in the Benz plans it was probably
necessary to be done. However, the
work has not been completed as re-
ouired by the order, -or the windows
in front of stairs court building have
not been frosted.
i So. Kitchen f1ue, $500
We find order from architect to the
general contra tor as follows:
July %, 1911.
"You are hereby instructed to build
flue in kitchen on east side of room
next to wall of white cell block. and
will cut hole in roof, place inch
thimble for same. An extra for this
work amounting to $500 is hereby al
lowed"
Afterwards the architect, L. R. Benz
in his report dated January 81, 1912,
to the board Of county commissioners.
over his own signature, speaks of this
item as follows: Item So, Kitchen
FIue, $500 This item is specified in
J the plans and specifications
On page % of the General Specifica-
J tions we find this fue provided for as
follows:
) ''Flue.-There is to be a fiue built for
the kitchen on the third story where
indicated on plan. The joints and sides
, shall be struck, full flush and smooth,
and to be furnished with terra Gotta
thimble. The size of the fiue to be Sx1S
inches in the clear"
, This item should be disallowed.
Sc. Pit in boiler room, $500.
We find order from architect to gem
J erai contractor as follows:
August 1, 1911.
''You are hereby instructed to place
pi. 8 feet by 10 feet in floor of boiler
house, and an extra amounting tC
$4,000 is hereby allowed for same"
The order calls for $500 more than
amount charged by contractor.
This pit, it appears, was not provid-
D ed for in the plans and specifications
and it became necessary according tC
\ the idea OF the architect in the placing
D
room. to lay the hot water boiler hori-
zontally. This charge seems to be
e | reasonable whether It was necessary
z or not. However, the report of the
r Turner Construction Company, wher
a bidding on completing tue unfinished
d work of heating and Plumbing, as wei
as the report of George Rommell. Jr.
n submitted to this board on same
: shows that this hot water boiler should
