ARCHITECT SAYS WILD GUESS
County Board Accepts Figures of Ap..
praisers For Land Purchased For the
Court House site - Gives NUM-
cipal Court a Deputy Clerk.
BULLETIN.

This afternoon after long SEES
sion Of the building committee,
Chairman Scott made verbal re-
port to the board urging the neces-
sity of definite estimate of the
cost of the building before the
board proceeded further. At the
same time he suggested that the
committee believed some payment
should be made to the architects.
Architect Kenneth White addressed
the board, stating that the estimates
received were for many things
which should not be included in the
cost of the building. 1t was fore
casted that the board would prob
ably make some appropriation to
the architects and hold the final ap-
prevail Of the plans in allegiance I'M
til definite estimate was received.
The board adjourned without tax
ing any action.

The County Board is to be congrat-
ulated on it's prompt recognition of the
needs Of the Municipal Court. The
court is not only a mighty good court,
but it is a mighty good paying -institu-
tion for the city and county. For a
long time it has been running short
handed Fifteen hundred dollars year
for added clerk hire in the court is
an excellent way to spend the funds
Of the county.

Of course there is a slight discrepancy
between the 100000 estimate of the
architect Of the cost Of the court house
and the $1,000, 900 minimum of that big
building company, but II will be remem-
bered that we are living in an age Of
soaring costs. Possibly the county has
a champagne appetite and beer in
come, but the County Board will find a
way out Of it and build court house
just the same.

Kenosha is surely getting to be a
big boy now. With a population of
10000 people it should assume airs Of
a city of that size. The cooperation
of all of it's people is the only thing
needed to make that $4,000 in to
100000 before Uncle Sam counts noses

The new Kenosha County Court house
built in accordance with the plan of
Architects White, White and White,
which have been approved by the state
department. and awaiting final accept
ance by the County Board will cost
two million dollars
This was the bomb shell thrown into
the ranks of the members of the special
building committee Of the board this
morning when the committee received
the informal estimate of the cost Of
the building. 1t was made by engineers
of the Westinghouse, Church Kerr Com
pany, a nationally known building CON
Germ which has had charge of the cree
tion Of many buildings in Kenosha, It
is admitted that the estimate was a
stunning blow to the members of the
committee. The estimated cost Of the
building as made when the plans were
chosen by the County Board was from
100000 to 100000 and the board had
voted to provide bond issue to meet
the costs to this amount.
Under the estimate furnished by the
Westinghouse, Church Kerr company it
is stated that the minimum estimate Of
the cost Of the building according to
the plans submitted would be 100000
and that the maximum estimate of the
cost was $780, 900. This company had
been suggested as q possible bidder for
the contract for the construction of the
building and it had suggested that the
court give it the job of erecting the
building with the understanding that
it would be taken on a cost plus plan.
1t is expected that the estimated cost
of the building will bring long delays
in the erection Of it on the present set
of plans and the board may decide to
pare down the plans in an effort to get
II inside of the suggested appropria-
tions.
The Westinghouse Church Kerr en-
gineers have stated in their letter sub
hitting this estimate that this is not a
detailed estimate, but that it is within
100000 of what the detailed estimate
will be. The company has agreed to
make detailed estimate Of the cost
of the building for $3.50.
Architect Kenneth White when ask
ed in regard to his ideas of the figures
which had been furnished declared
that the estimate was simply eswild
guess and that it included lot of
things which were not properly consid
cred. He said that it included land
scape gardening and costly furniture
and other items not properly consider
ed in connection with the building. He
still insisted that his estimate of
100000 for the superstructure would
be very near the figures for the cost
of the building. He asserted that
these figures were not expected to
cover the landscape gardening and fur
nitnre and steel work Of the building.
