Very likely these places have inn

how the whole idea of the fitness and

the desire for another visit. The
wide-awake merchant is not blind TO
these opportunities, as the buildings
of today show, and with the changing
of business centers new sections are
being constantly developed, so that
old established houses find them
selves losing ground unless they garb

is that in successful establishments,

about 1t, consequently we must go
out of Wilmington to obtain competi-
tive drawings" This is certainly not
fair to the people Of Wilmington who
have donated the money, nor to the
architects who are constantly enlarg-
ing their experiences and their lines
of effort.
1t is true also that an institution
should not allow itself to become a
prey to incompetency, and they are
entitled, when handling public funds,
to engage the very best that can be
gotten; but it is very questionable
in the minds of many if the average
Building Committee is in any better
position TO determine on the merits
of a design submitted by an out of
town firm than they are able to pass
on the merits contained in a design
Of local concern. The acknowledge
ment of ignorance in regard to local
work hardly helps a committee in
work from the outside. II would be
so much better in our opinion If such
a committee, representing this insti-
tuition, would frankly and openly
state-"We do not know anything
about the relative merits Of work on
paper, we are going to retain some
one with a reputation and the ability
to assist us in our deliberations. 4"
This would be a frank and open line
Of action which could hardly be
criticised.
Building committees could be of so
much more value to the bodies which
they represent and to themselves if
they would put themselves in the
attitude that architecture is a profess
sion with centuries Of history in
back of it and with development
that has covered ages Of time; that
the trained architect does not arrive
at his conclusions by helter-skelter,
slip-shod methods but is usually a
trained college graduate, or at least
a man who has served an apprentice
ship on large work for a number of
years and so equipped himself to
theorize, analyze and practically ex-
ecute almost any kind of problem
that is presented to him; and that it
is quite impossible in the nature of
things for the average banker, real
estate man, lawyer, doctor or public
official to pass intelligently or au-
thoritatively on the relative merits
of an academic solution of any given
architectural problem.
Wilmington has taken her first step
in the right direction. and without
prophecying it is safe to say that at
least so far as the architectural merit,
the dignity Of the design. and the
practical utilities OF the Municipal
and County Building are concerned,
We as citizens have very little to re-
gret and We will have very much to
be satisfied with.

Iew Municipal and County Building Evidence

The citizens Of Wilmington and the
county Of New Castle, aside from any
feeling that they may have in regard
to expenditures of public funds,
should certainly congratulate them
selves on the absolutely professional
and complete way in which the build
ing committee for the new Municipal
and County Building went about their
task of determining who was best
fitted TO not only design but to exc
cute and supervise a building cost
ing slightly over s1,OOO,OOO
No one but those who have gone
through 1t or those in the profess
sion can realize the magnitude of
such a task. In the first place the
commission appointed was composed
Of bankers, business men and manu-
facturers, men who had perhaps
never approached a building opera
ton from quite the same angle that
this one would necessarily have to
be approached. This left them in the
Grst steps without a base in their
individual and collective experiences
on which to work; unquestionably
this was mastered and the various
steps we're met and disposed Of with
untiring effort
The commission we're particularly
fortunate in having retained a man of
national reputation in handling such
affairs. The retaining of DR.. Warren
Laird was a matter of great gratif-
cation to the profession and the great
advantage in bringing to bear on this
problem the ability of one trained for
such a special service could not help
but bring such results. DR.. Laird's
efforts with the board, rather than
minimizing the work of the board,
were one of the great proofs Of their
far seeing and accurate judgment,
and it is told by those who have seen
the plans submitted that unquestion-
ably the final selection of the com
mission was the best that could have
been made.
The fortunate outcome Of such an
entirely professional competition can
not help but raise the entire archi-
tectural profession Of Wilmington
and Delaware to a plane far above
that which It has ever held or could
have held in the past Another very
fine feature of the result is that a
local man has associated himself
with the successful competitor; this
gives Wilmington and the architec-
tural profession another recognition,
which, while not absolutely neces-
sary, is gratifying. Admiration has
been expressed for the design select
ed and it may be added here for the
information of those who are not ia
miliar with the process Of develop
ment OF a building Of this kind, that
while clever in itself, this design as
submitted to the commission will
doubtless be gone over and analyzed,
portions added and eliminated. keep
ing the major integrity OF the de-
sign intact, but studying it far be-
yond its present degree of complete
ness, so that the work actually ex-
ecuted will be far superior to that
as set forth in the drawings; in
Evening journal., 1914-07-01

other words, the drawings submitted
represent only a fractional portion of
the work which will doubtless be put
on them by the successful architects.
With this concrete practical
demonstration of how competitions
may be intelligently and successfully
handled 1t is hoped that when other
public funds are to be expended that
more consideration will be given to
the professional side of competitions,
so that it will be practical for men
with the proper dignity and respect
for their own profession TO enter
into such competitions with a reason
able degree of assurance that II their
work really shows merit, such merit
will be passed upon by those who
are qualified to determine, and that
the thing Will not be placed on the
basis that it has so often been placed
upon where a Building Committee
states-"we do not know anything

MORE WHISKEY
VICTIMS DYING
Physicians Expect Total
of twenty-five Deaths
in Vermont Town.
Ii. TeIegrlrh lo ~ TrIbune. J

Burlington. VT. Nov. 3.-Although
several men have lowered at the point
of death all day as the result of drink
ing the whiskey which was purchased
at the drug store Of DR.. d. a. Bisbee'
in Bristol. physicians have been work
ing over them heroically and tonight
all are still alive. although it is eX-
pected hourly that three will die.
An examination b. officials OF the
State Laboratory of Health proves that
the whiskey was composed OF 90 per
cont wood alcohol. and that the re
mainder was principally water. Blsbee
said to-day to the Tribune correspon-
dent that he purchased the alcohol in
Boston and ordered cologne spirits and
that the goods came billed as such.
He could not explain why he, drug
gist. could not tell the difference IN
the odor and appearance. The smell
Of the liquor would lead to the I'M
preston that there was also ether IN
the mixture.
Physicians say they will not be sur
prised If the total number Of deaths
reaches twenty-five. as symptoms OF
poisoning are sometimes not mani
rested for a week or ten days. In case
the afflicted persons recover they VIII.
in all probability. be blind and Grip
pied for life. More than seventy per
sons purchased liquor az Bisbee's drug
store on Saturday. and every means -
being taken 10 get word 10 them before
they take the poison.
In every case thus far reported the
victim has been stricken blind and
gone into commissions. In one case
more than sixty commissions were sui
fercd before death ensued. In many
instances the supposed whiskey was
given 10 those VINO had already drank
it IN hopes Of alternating pain. Or
course. this made death certain.
The victims are stricken suddenly
and men who are apparently in the best
Of health go down IN a heap. To-day
John Agan. of Monkton. was stricken
in the streets OF Bristol. and Francis
Mcbride. who died yesterday, died
while at work. The temper of the peo-
ple remains ugly and while no efforts
have been made to assault Bisbee, the
officials have thought II best 70 remove
him 70 the county Jail in Middlebury.
As the resul, of the large number OF
deaths and the illness caused by
whiskey the vote in Bristol at this
election will be the smallest in years.
