ALLEN CONTENDS
REPLY INADEQUATE
Criticizes Method of Build
ing Courthouse
NO BOND EXECUTED
Asserts That He Has No Desire to
Make Bid on the Structure
at Bessemer

10 the Editor of The Age-Herald:
On December 10 I addressed letter
to the board of revenue through youl
paper regarding the letting of the BESSIE
mer courthouse to an absolutely CLOSED
shop contractor, whose work is controlled
by the union business agents, thereby
preventing all open shop sub-contractors
from even estimating or working on this
work for which they are paying.
also stated that they were paying
more for the contractors service than
they could have gotten the same serv-
ice for and that the fee paid their arch
ltect was greater than the fee paid the
same architect by the city board of edu-
cation.
1t seems tht this work was handed tc
evans Bros, without any competition
whatever and according to best informal
ton without any guarantee or surety
bond as to the supposed cost OF S95, 600
If this cost amount can be reduced sew
eral thousand dollars by competitive bid
ding of taxpayers why should the board
of revenue object? There must be and
is some reason.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I expected at least
an intelligent answer to my letter from
an intelligent board, but to this time
l have received none. However, | no
ticed in your paper of December II that
Jere Gwin was getting together the data
in connection with the award of the
Bessemer courthouse.
Now it seems to me, Mr.. diwin, that
If this work has been properly let. with
nothing in view but the best interests
of all the citizens instead of some IA
vored few, that you woaid have yonr
data before you, and that you would be
willing and ready to give it to the
public when called upon. But, of cou, Sc,
If your job has been let by sleight of
hand and you have no data and no con-
tract and no guarantee or surety bond
as you know you have not, then, of
course, you are bound to side-step, or you
seemingly have.
