WANTED TO WRECK A SCHOOL BUILDING ,
Mr. TlprlliiRlion I cnlc llm Acrtiftntlnn ,
Hut Stiy * Ho Urjjnl doing Alter
I.lhrrnl Kxtrii * from the
lloiiril of IMiicutlon.
The now Kcllom school building , now
almost completed , appears to bo n sort of
Pandora's ' box for furnishing wranglow and
dlnicultlcs botwvcn the Board of Education ,
the architects , the superintendent and the
contractor and subcontractor * .
Ever ftlnco the dlfllculty that arose last
August over the question of superintending
the construction of the building , when the
board decided to give Superintendent Hamil
ton absolute authority over the con
tractor and the architects who had
furnished the plans there has bocn trouble
breaking out hero and there and from pres
ent Indications there is more to follow.
AViinteil tlici MulMlng to Pull Donn.
Speaking of the worn of the now building
Mr. Mcngcdohtsaid the other day to n Br.r.
reporter ! "I bavo had more annoyance g'nco '
I began to put up this building than I over
had on n building In my life. I would not go
through thn same thing again if I could bo
assured of making { 10,000 out of it , I have
tried my best to put the building up accord
ing to the contract , but the con
stant cross-firing between the archi
tect and Suporlntendont Hamilton
has made mo a great deal of trouble and has
occasioned considerable unnocesswry expense.
In the ilrst ploco I supposed that I was to
work under the supervision of the architects ,
but soon after the building was commenced
I found that Mr. Hamilton and Mi1. Borlltig-
hoff did not agree , and of course 1 could network
work under two superintendents who gave
opposite orders about things. Mr. Borllng-
bolT wanted mo to put In an iron ueum over
the arch nt the main entrance , but Mr. Ham
ilton ordered mo not to put It , Ho said the
Doard would not pay for It because it was
not necessary. The board Dually gave
Sir. Hamilton full swing and thou I did ns bo
iroctcd.
"Borllnghoff was displeased with that and
ho wonted mo to build that arch whore ho
intended to have a I beam put in so that
it would fall down when the weight came on
it from above. Ho sold I could bavo my men
build it In such a way that It would break
down and then wo would throw the blame on
Mr. Hamilton because ho would not lot mo
put in the Iron beam. I told Borllnghoff
that I would not do a thing like that ; I
wanted to build an honest , substantial
building , and would do so , oven if
I lost money at 11. Bcrllnghoff
offered to go to > ha building at night and llx
the arch so It would fall down if I would lot
him. I spurned every suggestion of that
kind.
A Hellenic for an Extra Jtobbery.
"Later on Borllnghoff told mo that I ought
to got a few thousand dollars out of the board
Dy making it apnoar that Cady & Gray had
to build tno stafrs all over again because
tbo rise In the first story was changed
by the board after tbo building had boon be
gun. Ho said if 1 would listen to him mid
Ferguson , who works for Cady < Si Gray , they
would show ma how to llx the school board.
Ho said they could show mo how to smear it
all over the board and Hamilton too , but l
would not listen to him. I would not stoop
to so low n thing. My word is as good as my
bond touaj with men that I bavo built houses
for , and I want to keep It that way. "
Wknt Ucrllnghoir Says.
Mr. Berlin chofl was seen In the
odUo of Bell Borllnghoff at Council
Blufts. Speaking of the arch over the
IrontdoorMr. BerllnRhoff said : "Wo In
tended that there should bo an Iron beam
over that arch because an arch of brick , as it
is at present , is liable to glvo way und crack
oftt r a few months. Any first-class archi
tect will toll you that a wide brick arch is
not very substantial without an Iron beam or
eye ns they call It , to hold the brick
firm. Wo had the I beam up there , but
Mr. Hamilton would not lot Mongodoht put
It In. You mark my word when 1 tell you
rlgnt now that that very arch will spring
before many months. Hero is on example of
brick arch work on the Grand Central betel
and some of them are sprung already. "
"Did you over advise Mongedoht to put up
that arch where von wanted to put m the
I beam In a slipshod manner so that it
would fall down when the weight came upon
1U"No
"No , sir. I gave him no such advice as
that. "
Mr. Bell , who was present during the con
versation , said * "What an absurd Idea.
Who has been telling that ! " When the gen
tlemen were Informed that the Information
cnmo from no less a man than .Mr. Mengo-
doht they looked at each other In astonish
ment , and Mr. Borllnghoff repented tbo
statement that ho had never given such
ndvico.
"Did you advise Mengodoht to strike the
Board of Education for extras on the stair
building on account of n change In the plans
after part of the work had been donol"
"Yes. I ai a , " said Mr. Berllnghoff. "Ho
bad a.rh'ut to ask an extra for that. I under
stand that pan of the stairs had
to bo built twice on account
of that change and Mengodoht ought
to have put in an extra because it was not bis
fault. "
Clnlins the Hoard Wan In Krror.
"Tho board went all wrontr , " said Mr. Bell
nt this point , "when our authority to super
vise the building was taken away. Every
architect ought to supervise the construction
of the buildings for which bo has drawn
the plans. Ho knows bettor than
anybody oho how the building
ought to bo put up. When the board decid
ed to dispense with our services and turn the
supervision of the building over to Mr. Ham
ilton , In direct violation of our written con
tract , then the trouble began. The worts
lias been a succession of blunders over since
then and the building today Is not pat up ac
cording to the specifications. The roof has
not been braced as called for in tbo speci
fications , and yet the board has allowed the
contractor ? SO for the extra bracing that has
peon loft out. Tno locks should have been
Yale , as called for in our specifications , but
the contractor has put on the Corbin lock.
which is much chcapsr. Mr. Hamilton did
not notice this until Mr. Borllnghoff
called his attention to it. Wo understand
that ho has slnco ordered the Corbin locks
taitou off and tbo Yale put on. There are
other things about the building that are not
in accordance with the speculations , but
the board bos decided to go It blind. When
the committee wont up there last week to
investigate , the architects were not con-
fiullrd. I nupposo the board will
finally accept the building without asking
us whether or not it is the building our plans
represented.1'
"Do you expect to hold tbo board for the
additional amount usually paid architects
for superintending a building ! "
"Wo certainly do. Our bond and
contract apecillcally state that wo
were to superintend the condlruo
tion of the building and when it Is com
pleted and accepted wo shall proceed to
collect the balance duo us for drawing the
plans and about WOO for superintending the
construction of the building. "

thnt the building could be used as a conven

ho wanted was enough to pay for putting in
and removing the seats that would be used
and occupied by the murabors of the conven

You'd Iwliovo In jmteiit medicines If they
didn't profess to euro everything.
And , you can't always tell the prescription
thnt cures by what you rend In the papers.
So , ticrhaps , there's no better wny to Bell a
romodv , than to tell the truth nbout It , and
take the Hsfc'of its doing Just what It pro
fesses to do.
Dr. 1'icrco's Fnvorlto Prescription Is not
n " circI I/ / , " but Is only adapted to these
diseases peculiar to women. It fulfills n
singleness of jmri > ese , being a perfect spo-
rijlc In nil chronic weaknesses , functional
mid painful disorders peculiar to the BCJC.
It's n ixwerful , Invigorating tonic , and n
soothing and strengthening nervlno purely
vogctalilo , perfectly harmless. For ulccra-
tlons , displacements , bearing -down sensa
tions , unnatural discharges everything
that's known as a "fomalo complaint" it's
a positive remedy.
