County Buildings

We. your committee on county
buildings. beg leave to submit the fol-
lowing:
We have examined the county hos
pital and found same in an exceed
ingly neat and orderly condition. The
inmates have no complaints. We
wish to commend the superintendent,
Mrs. Vandermede. A few small de-
tails needed which Mrs. Vandermade
will take up with the county COM
missioners.
In our examination of the county
high school we find the building well
taken care Of In the boys locker and
shower room we find there is no way
for the water to properly drain.
We recommend immediate attention
to this defect.
The county Jail is well kept. We
suggest in connection with this
building that arrangements be made
to connect same with new heating
plant OF the court house. AT the pres
ent time stoves are used in order to
save the use of the more expensive
plant. This is an most unsatisfactory.
By connecting with the plant in the
court house this building can easily
be heated and would mean a great
saving to the county. We also recon-
mend that in the womans ward two
sanitary couches with suitable mat
tresses be furnished.

COMPLETE REPORT Of
COUNTY GRAND JURY
Court House Committee

Court House Committee
We, your committee on the new
Humboldt county court house, beg
to submit the following:
So far as this committee were able,
we have made thorough examina-
tion of the building and find many
seemin flagrant violations of the
contract by different contractors.
After careful examination of the roof
we are of the opinion that, for the
money expended, 1t Ia anything but
what might be expected. II had leak
ed in various places already. and we
are unable to say what the result
would be after heavy rainstorm.
So far as we know it may meet the
requirements as set forth in the plans
and specifications. II it does. we
strongly recommend to the new board
OF county commissioners that they
lose no time in engaging the SER
vices OF an expert to put II in first
class condition. II not according to
the plans and specifications. we
then urge that the commissioners in
sist that the contractor be compelled
to live up to the terms of his con-
tract; and, If any moneys be now due,
to withhold payment Of same until
such repairs have been made to the
satisfaction of their honorable board.
The specifications call for "all mill
work to be seasoned and kiln dried,
quarter saver eastern oak" Upon In
vestigation We find this class of mill
work used in few places about the
building. The greatest part OF this
work, however. we find done in COM
mon Oregon pine. which is a much
cheaper and inferior finish than that
called for in the specifications.
Excepting the brick work above the
cornice and the terra Gotta at the top
OF the building, where white cement
instead of black was to be used, we
find the masonry satisfactory.
The grossest violation of a contract
seems to be that of the contractor on
plumbing and heating. 1t appears to
this committee that this contractor
ignored the specifications entirely
substituting inferior material most
lavishly. With a PAID INSPECTOR
supposed to be on the job at all times,
it is beyond us why these substitu-
tions were permitted. The specifica-
tions read: This contractor shall in
clude two two-inch supplies, run from
the street. and to the building and
completely connected. One of these
supplies for hose-reels only" We
find that but one supply pipe has been
run-a saving of some two hundred
feet of two-inch pipe. the cost Of
which, We believe, should have been
deducted from the contract. Specjfi-
cations call for high-grade toilet
with sanitary hygenic seats and with
out covers. AS a substitute we find
the contractor has put in toilets and
seats far inferior to those called for.
Considering the cost and beauty of
this structure. the toilets are Alto
gether out of harmony, and we recon-
mend and urge that the honorable
hoard of county comm{c siopere In
sist that the original toilets and seats
be furnished by this contractor and
be put in at the earliest possible date.
The lavatories, excepting those in the
district attorneys and county clerks
