discharge which states, After chang
ing discharge to meet engineers rec
0mmendation, job to be accepted"
This change was not made. Plans
call for two and one-half inch dis
charge wipe from pump and n and
one-half inch pipe was used. Insula-
ton IN steam main between old and
new hospital building as stated in
contract calls for twelve-inch split
tile casing and filed with Johns-Man-
Vile asbestos sponge filling. Asbes-
tos air covering has been substituted.
NO allowance nOr provisions were
made for expansion or contraction of
pipe connecting new and old hospital
building. Relative to the allowance
of $104 for the difference in pipe
covering IL is u opinion that this is
far too inadequate. On the second
floor there are missing three basins.
Waste pipes have been left open,
which emit w gas throughout the
building. On the first floor while in
Sailing plumbing bridging was
knocked out and never replaced. Main
floor of new building should have
been on level with floor of old build
ing. but is several inches lower.
We have shown some of the irreg-
ularitics in the construction of the
new hospital and the loose, negligent
manner in which the affairs of the
county have been handled by the
board of county commissioners in
connection with the construction of
This hospital building. 1t appears
that the contracts were so drawn up
as IN allow any number of extras,
which in this connection has amount
I'd tc approximately $4,000. The
contract price for The building, in
Guiding heating, was to be s41,126.
1t has cost the taxpayers of White
Pine county to date $61,982, which
is s20,S56 ove the original contract
price. and this amour is all taken
up in items known as Extras"
The deductions allowed by the SUI
perintendent in favor of the county
are entirely insufficient, and for your
information Will cite a few instances:
Plastering outside of building, pilas-
tiers and fire wall, allowed 500;
should have allowed approximately
$500. Seagrass mating, SIS allow
ed, should have allowed approximate
ly s25. Grading around building, al
lowed $50, should have allowed APP
proximately $500. Partitions and
doors on sur porch, $50 allowed,
should have allowed approximately
SIS. Lockers in hall between build
ings, $25 allowed, should have al
lowed $25. The foregoing will show
deductions amounting to $500 for
these incompleted jobs, when a de-
duction of approximately s1,f50
should have been made.
Present Condition OF Building.
The building is settling throughout
causing large cracks throughout the
entire building. which is caused from
poor construction, and due to the
bearing partitions being out of line
at the present time n and one-half
inches. The walls and floor of the
new building are badly smoked and
covered with SCOT. due 10 existing
condition of boiler plant.
Recommendations.
We recommend that immediate
steps be taken to reinforce the build
ing throughout on account of the dan.
gerous condition the building is now
in.
We recommend that immediate
steps be taken to eliminate the smoke
nuisance. and the boiler room and
! partitions be rearranged so that fues

$2,353.2y
We recommend that the commits
sioners make effort to borrow imme-
diately the sum of $4,000, which
amount, a competent committee esti-
mates, will be necessary to repair and
complete the building. This should
be done in order to saw the building.
We believe that the acts of the board
Of county commissioners in connec-
ton with this building constitute
nothing lass than graft and misappli-
cation of funds, and eve before in
the history of White Pine county has
such an outrage been perpetrated by
a board of county commissioners
upon taxpayers of the county. Just
why Mr.. j. ID. Watson of McGill, New,
who was employed by the county
commissioners to act in the capacity
OF superintendent Of construction at
a fat salary, failed to do his duty in
regard to proper construction and
material, and in accordance with
specifications furnished, will be
mighty hard for the taxpayers of
White Pine county to understand, and
we doubt if he will ever be able to
explain with n degree of satisfac-
ton. We believe he must have known
that Contractor o. NJ. Wallace ard
the county commissioners were swim
ding the county out of a lot of money
and had he been honest and conscien-
tious in the discharge of his duties as
superintendent he would not have al
lowed this rotten mess to go on, nor
would he have reported the building
completed, when, as a matter of fact,
ii is not completed, and he knew al
the time il was not. His action of
course, in nc wise clears the skirts OF
the board of county commissioners,
who are responsible for the payments
made to Contractor o. NJ. Wallace.
Mr.. Meyers. the master mind of the
board OF county commissioners, has
had sufficient experience as a builder
and contractor, here and elsewhere,
to know when a building Is complete
and when it is not.
In this particular instance he knew
that the building was and is not com
: rleted, and that Contractor o. NJ.

8. Recommendations.
Flans and Specifications Of Building.
One item which Is of great import
ance is the floor joists which carry
the operating room. These floor
1oists have been set according tc
plans, but are entirely insufficient to
carry the floor. 1t has been neces-
safy to make a temporary beam out
of 2 by IS spiked together. to I'M
der the floor joists, with wooden
wedges driven under floor joists to
bring them up level, but they are
still out If level one and one-half
inches. Lintels under doors are too
light and sag in all of them. There
is an insufficient number OF studding
to carry roof and second floor.
Workmanship of Building.
The workmanship in several in
stances is very poor. For example,
the heating system and pointing UP
of concrete blocks.
Contract and specifications Not Lived
Up To.
Front gable of building approx
mately two feet lower than plans and
specifications call for. No tar nor
gravel on roof, as called for in speci-
fcations. The electric light fixtures

duction of 500 allowed by superin-
tendent, but to finish outside of build

Seagrass mating used SIS al

mortar; according to specifications
cement mortar should have been
used. Bridging on first floor, used 2

should have been used.
Air ducts should be made of tongue

mon lumber. Down spouts i'm front

been borne by the contractor.

AnD=Rso1F'nE FOR
DISoRDERN CONDUCT.


Allie Anderson, young man well
known about the city. was tried in
police court yesterday on charge of
disorderly conduct and resisting ar
rest, in connection with an episode
at the Norwich street baseball park
several days ago, in which Chief of
Police Register figured as the arrest
ing officer 1t was charged that young
Anderson rushed on the field during
IN argument, and refused to obey the
sder of the chief to clear the grounds
so that the game could be resumed.

eject him from the grounds, Anderson
put up a stiff resistance, it is said.
He was fined $1,000 and costs. 1t is
exported that Anderson has sworn out

PARTICIPANTS IN FIGHT
ARE HEAVILY FINED.

An interesting case tried before Re
corder Pope in police court yesterday
was that against Capt. Ed. Fader on
one side, and Dock Owens, Addie
Owens, and Allie Anderson on the
other. charged with having engaged
in lively street fight Saturday af-
ternoon. The encounter occurred
near the intersection of Newcastle
and Gloucester, and at an hour when
the streets were thronged with pedes
TRANS, creating intense excitement
until the battle was broken up by the
police. There were a score of wit
nesses, and almost as many versions
OF the fight were related to the re
corder from the witness stand. Judge
Pope assessed fines of $500 against
Dock Owens, $500 against Capt
Cader. and $4,000 against Addie
Owens, the latter. according TO wit
nesses and his own statement, having
kicked Capt. Fader in the face and
side several times while he was on
the ground engaged in a desperate
struggle with his brother. The case
against young Anderson was dismiss
ed. 1t being evident that he acted in
the role of peace-maker. There wore
a number OF other minor cases dis
posed OF during the session.
