Dispute Over Foundations
Building Inspector Demands
Larger Footings to Comply
With City Ordinance
Construction Ceases.

Work on the portable school bull
ding which is being erected adj
joining School No /, Woodland
avenue, is ut a standstil following
a dispute as to the size of founda-
tons between Building Inspector
Warren Austin and the contractor
who was erecting the structure for
the Asbestos building Co, it be-
came known today.
The Inspector has refused to al
low the building to be placed on
foundations the company foreman
is putting in, demanding, in com
pliance with the building code of
the city. larger footings He has
stated that the foundations that
have been poured must be taken
out.
The company's foreman declares
that as the building is temporary
the heavier foundations are not
necessary. However, the City
Building Inspector cannot see mat
tiers in that light.
Because it would cost his COM
pany more money than they had
figured, work was ordered stopped.
The foreman declared that the
building will not be erected unless
the city, through the board, pays
for the heavier. foundations. This
may mean q long holdup, as the
contract was awarded to the AS
bestos Building Co. for $10,075 at
the last meeting of the Board of
EducIstion.
Supt. Simon NJ. Horstick had
hoped to have the building com
pleted early in November, and was
taking steps necessary to transfer
$50 students from the Woodland
avenue school into the structure.
Those students are at present at
tending on part time. The transfer
planned would give them a full
time schedule.
The trouble between the Unions
and the Asbestos Company was
settled with satisfaction to both
parties late last week, after the or.
ganized labor bodies of the city
had protested that non.union labor
was being used on the construction
job. The foreman took steps to
place uniCh men on the job, paying
the Union scale of wages.
Members of the Board of Edu-
cation had given the contract 10
