County commissioners John Kit

Closkey made a personal visit to
Julietta, county insane asylum,
today to fix responsibility for re-
ported dangerous condition of the
new west wing of the mems build
ing. The grand jury and county
council examined It last week.
Cassius L. Hogle, county council
president. who stirred up more in
vestigations than a Democratic SEN
ator, is busy with a petition to the
State board of accounts asking a
thorough probe of the new buildings
at the asylum and at the county in
irmary. He expects to file it Mon
day. The board has two examiners
ready to start work, it is said.
Contractor in Party
Commissioners were accompanied
by George A. Weaver and his son,
Windsor, of the firm of George A.
Weaver & Son., who built the Juli-
eta wing in 1922 and 1923, and the
new mems building at the county
poor farm;sC. E. Dunlap, architect;
Warren Bev4nstens-- contracting en-
gineer; Merle n. A. Walker, attorney
for Weaver; John J. Griffith, county
engineer and his assistant, Claude
Mason.
The party inspected the women's S
wing of the new building first. They
had lunch and then went to the
mems wing.
Commissioners said the women's
wing was satisfactory, the only de-
feet being a place where a hardwood
floor had buckled. Dunlap said this
might have been caused by rain or
by too much scrubbing.
Commissioner Hoffman dug a brick
out of the wall of the attic of the
mems wing with a nail
Weaver said a new kind Of mortar
had been used in freezing weather.
1t was not supposed to freeze, he
said. 1t is his opinion, he said, that
the mortar will harden later. The
building has been up a year.
The contractor said specifications
provided that the attic floor, which
says as much as four inches in spots,
must bear fifty pounds to the square
inch weight. He offered to make
such a test.
Commissioners did not comment
on the offer. Engineer Griffith said
the sagging ceiling looked rather
dangerous"
