 Because the water piping sys- &ean as installed in the new high school building was botch- Cd and laid in an impractieable manner, worlmen began sew eraI days ago to tear up the concrete floors throughout the. building to correct the error.
 Because the workmen who. laid the frame work and the bricks for the walls of the rooms were not furnished with proper specifications doorways in the building are being torn down.
 Because the contracting firm thaf,started the job either didn't t. have money enough or didn't wantsto spend money, the terra cotta in the new building is a larnenaable series of curves and. irresr1larities-

On Lyon terrace and onl Golden F47I street the effect as stunning. Ter "a coekz is handsomely arranged SO that the blocks slant in graceful lines this way and that, and project and recade just enough to make a general conto1r decidedly novel There's xo8h4nx like it in Bridgeport
 hfsnfaI teIepathic specidcation ons were ussd in the construction of some Of the rooms and asa result some of the Aoorways are being torn down. The ks1epathy was operated between the bF1cklayers and the architect, who . Is sadd to ehave neglected the custom of giving measurement from the room sidewalks to the middle of the door spaces. Having no measurements the bricklayers and carpenters did their best, but uu1or tunate1y put the door ways in the wrong places.
 The patience of Job and the skill of an artist was required by the brick layers who put on the terra cottas work. They weren't supplied with acaffoIdxng to do their work and had to work from the Inside. One can't see how his work looks when working from the inside and a result the decorations on the high school exter- for are series of ups and downs and fns and outs
 Not another school building in. the. city had to be constructed without Sthe aid of scaffoIding, say men fa- qnfl5ar with construction. Bridgeport contractors say they would be cruci-. fled if they turned out such a job ana they look on with amazement while it as ou'z01-'0Wn = ss'A away W''A
 The contracting firm has rented it's rigging and derricks They didn't own them and couldn't borrow any,
 No provision has been made for the piping of the vacuum cleaning sys- tenn AS result they have to tear up more things
 Members E1ner H. Ravens and N. w Bishop visited the scene to-day shortly before noon and watched the creature of their drl hms building in some places and bel. g desecrated in others. They wore sgond smiles on their facess~ as they irs auired into the progress on the building
 The construction work is now in other hands than at first. William Shaughnessy Derby man who knows his business. is now endeavoring to make a, high school out of what has started to be a joke. He would not talk to-day, other than say that he is going to build the structure according to specifications.
 One other thing has escaped the at tentfon of the board of education. No place s11as been reserved for the cop per plate on which the custom is to fn- scribe the names of the i1lustrious per sons who conceived public build ing and saw to it's construction. It is rumored that the board will neg Iect 10 have plate made for the ad- hiring eyes of posterity.
 One man who viewed the exterior of the building to-day, remarked: .'One good turn deserves another"
