I 10 TITE OMAHA DAILT BEE: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7. 1002. 'ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING i ; Member W. T, Johnson of Bohoel Board i Writei a Pertinont Letter. CONTRACTORS DISREGARD SPECIFICATIONS Hllrvr of Knm of the Peculiar Fea tirri Arising; Oat of the toe- traction of the Sew ' ' Hlh Srhool. OMAHA, Nov. . To the Editor of The Bee: I wish to rail attention to the fol lowing Items: The plaster specification for the sew High school building provide that all aide walls ahall be plastered with two coats and finlahed with Keen cement, except back of blackboard, where the finishing coat ahall be omitted. Tbreo hundred and seventy square yards back of lockers were omitted and no credit given. The contractor began to plaster where the lockers afterward were placed and waa allowed by the architect to discontinue, fwo reasons were afterward given to tha committee. By omitting the plaster ad ditional depth would be given to the lockers, and, aecond, it would be necessary to find the Joints In the brlok so as to wedge tha wall" to attach the lockers. Both these reasons were specious and false. The architect later drew plans for lockers and they were act out from the wall more than the depth of the plaster and were attached to grounds that had already been placed in the wall. The school district paid out something more than 1100 for plaster It never got and used unnecessarily S.800 square feet of lumber backing for lockers, with the work of placing, an additional cost of, say one-tenth the cost of the completed locker contract, or $300. ' Specifications Disregarded. Also, the plaster specifications provided that the toilet rooms, of which there are twenty-eight, shall be laid off in imitation of tile. This the contractor failed to do. This was not notloed until after the archi tect had reported the contract completed and recommended payment in full and pay ment had been made. When asked why thla work in the toilet rooms waa not done, the architect's answer was that be did not know It was In the specifications: this, in face of the fact that he had ad vised some of the contractors before their bids wore placed of exactly how much he would require in tbia specification, ex plaining that the Imitation of tile was to conform to -the tile in the entrance corri dor, one of the, blddera being still able to ahow his original memoranda and his allowance for this feature of the work. A second answer of the architect was that It amounted to nothing. The work would have cost the contractor $250 or $300, ao that be made this much If he caved It all. The sum la not large, but It belongs to the school district. Mr. Latenser promised the committee that he would have the work done yet. This promise waa made almost a year ago. For three years he has been promising, with some regularity, that the plumbing contractor would put la a new perforated pipe in the boys' toilet room In the new Saunders school. The water lias always run out over the floor, so that the boya must cross and recrosa as often as they enter the room. The com mittee doea not now expect promises of this kind to be kept. As to the Carving:. Again, a majority of the committee, when shown two email casta of groupa for the main pediment over the east entrance, de cided upon one group, the architect and one member of the committee favoring the other group. After the sculptor had the working model almost made at a labor value of $300 or to It was discovered that It was not the committee's group, but the other. Tha committee did not care to ask the aculptor to lose $300, he being an Innocent party, and on the other hand did not care to have the school district lose $300 by having the work done over, ao the model was accepted and the carving ordered done. Four months after the carving waa fin ished the carver wrote to members of the committee to ask why he could not get his pay. The architects reply to the com mittee was that the work was not satis factory and that he had not accepted It. TJpou this answer being sent to the carver, who was then at Dubuque, la., he returned by mall a letter press copy of the archi tect's written acceptance of the work, given when the work was finished, the accceptance having been turned over to the atone con tractor, under whom the carver worked. Until what time waa this carver to be kept out of the money due hint? Klectrlcal Spark . Passing over the heating contract and Wme other things. It Is now called to the attention of the committee by the board that the electrical contract must be looked Into, respecting which at leaat this much may be said: The contract calls for three motors and three rheostats, all of which are .described specifically; one to be used for the manual training, three-horse power; one for the large fan in the basement of the new building, thirty-horae power, and one for the email fan ventilating the cloaets, three-horse power. Instead of a new motor for the manual training, the old motor, formerly used in connection with the atreet railway power, was used by the contractor, he first re ducing the' voltage to correspond with the new generator. The old rheostat was also used, without the voltage being changed. This led to trouble and expense, which led to Inquiry. Instead of a thirty-horse power motor for the lareg fan a motor atamped by the manufacturers "22 H. P." was installed. This alao has given trouble and promises future expense. Presumably, it la a twenty-two-horse power motor, as stamped; anyway, the proper speed of the fan cannot ta maintained or even reached. Upon recommendation of the architect and as surance that the work was all completed according to specifications final payment was also made on this contract. qartr Bills Aprpoved. The architect was authorised by the board to have placed in the heated air chambers eight deflecting galvanized Iron dampers at a cost not to exceed $50, which the architect assured the board would be ample. Several months later a bill came aim to 50c according fo hize, from 2 to 14 years. Handsomely trimmed children's Gowns prices C5c, 75c, 85c and 98c according to age sizes 2 to 14 years. In for the 'dampers at $115. When this bill was returned to be itemised It In cluded Inlet frames, $28, that the board knew nothing about, but which the archi tect was said to have ordered. When this bill was checked up by tho superintendent of buildings, 150 square feet of galvanized Iron could not be found. A new and smaller bill was rendered accordingly. Each of these bills was in turn O K'd by the archi tect. This Is one of the few Instances where a bill remains unpaid. The same contractor was sllowed to lay the gal vanized Iron roof In a manner so faulty that it already leaks In twenty places. The question Is frequently asked why we are building a new smokestack at the present time. The new boilers were connected up with the old stack at an expense of $500. This was done against the advice of the engineer and the contractor, the old stack having a square opening where the iron casing bad been removed, which had to be done to give capacity, the opening In the old stack also being much larger at the bottom than at the top. The architect as sured the committee that the draft would be all right, that whatever auybody might say, connection with the old stack would be entirely satisfactory. He advised, how ever, that $15,000 be expended for a new boiler house that would be more accessible from the atreet, .upon which expenditure be would have received a per cent. The draft proved so poor that the new fire boxes were being ruined, double the neces sary amount of coal waa being used and the smoke nuisance waa Intolerable. The $500 for the old connection might aa well have been thrown into the fire. What la to Be Donef These are a few of the thlnga the com mittee had to contend with. What I want to ask ia this: Is the school district to lose the money paid out for things It never got and is this kind of thing to continue? The architect is liable under his bond to make good to the district any loss. Some blame Is due the committee. It depended upon written reports and recommendations of the architect. He waa being paid large sums of money for looking after the carrying out of plans and specifications, many of which members of the board could know little or nothing about without expert assistance. It made a mistake, and It ia serious to make mistakes. Some of us have given up much time during two or three years to the Interests of the schools. No one can eay that we have tried to escape or ahlrk any responsi bility or that our course ha been shaped at anytime by selfish or personal considers tlons. We have the satisfaction of feel ing that we have been useful. Because we have tried to keep everything in sight and out in the open, whether It conserved the comfort of everyone or not, w have had some opposition, tome of It of a very un. fair kind. A little later on I may ask pace to explain this statement. W.. F. JOHNSON. What Follows tirlpT Pneumonia ' often, but never when Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption la used.

WANTS USE OF UNION DEPOT AS WELL Bases Claims on Art of Congress tnder Which Bridge Was Ballt and Conditions of Saan ders Trust Deed. An action of considerable Interest to the city ot Omaha has Just been taken by the Mason City & Fort Dodge Railroad com pany In filing in the United Statea circuit court a bill against the Union Pacific Rail road company in an effort to obtain a de cree adjudging the corrplalnant entitled to the use ot the Union PaciSo tracks between Council Bluffs and South Omaha, the Union Pacific depot at Omaha and an Injunction restraining Interference with such use. The Mason City ft Fort Dodge road is a portion of the Great Western system, which is be ing constructed to Council Bluffs from tha east, and in seeking to come across the river Into Omaha It ha met with a refusal from the Union Pacific to uae the latter's bridge and terminal facilities here. The greatest Importance of thla action comes from the fact that It will mean that in the future, according to the decision of the court, the Union Pacific Railroad com pany will or will not be able to keep new linea from running Into Omaha from the east. The right of other railroad companies to use the Union Pacific bridge, depot and ter minal facilities comes from an act of con gress passed In 1871. under which the Union Pacific bridge and its approaches were built. The right also comes from the cove nants and conditions of the deed of Alvln Saunders, trustee, to the Union Pacific Rail road company whereby the lands donated by the city of Omaha and Its citizens were conveyed to the Union Pacific company. 51 clinch States the l aw. In an Interview yesterday Judge Mc Hugh explained the conditions of the situa tion upon which the Great Western based its contentions as follows: "The cltlsens of Omaha voted $200,000 of bonda and the county of Douglas $250,000 to aid In the building of the Union Paciflo depot and terminals. The bonda voted by the county were delivered to the Union Pacific Railroad company. The bonds voted by the city were sold and with the pro ceeds most of the land and lots from the Union Pacific bridge west, on which are laid the Union Pacific tracks, terminals and depot, were purchased. Other lots were donated by private Individuals. The title to all these lots was taken in the name of Alvin Saunders, trustee. The purpose was to aid in the construction of the Union Pa cific depot and terminals, but to provide that this depot and the terminals should be an open gateway to all railways reaching the Missouri river from the east and should be open to all such railways without dis crimination. "In 1872 Alvin Saunders conveyed the lands to the Union Paciflo company. . In the deed there was embodied an agreement be tween the Union Pacific company, tho city of Omaha and the county of Douglas wherein the purpose of the parties was ex pressed to the effect that these terminals and thla depot should forever be open on equal terms to all railways reaching the river from the east. And the Saundera deed conveyed the lands subject to the condi tions and stipulations of the contraot. Open to All Boada. "The act of congress of 1871, under which the bridge, approaches and appurtenances were constructed, declared that the rights granted tho Union Paciflo to build a bridge were for the purpose of affording connec tion between all roads which were or should be thereafter constructed to Council Bluffs from the east with all roads which were or should thereafter be constructed to or near Omaha from the west. "The act subjected the bridge, approaches and terminals to the provisions of tho act of 1S66, which gave to all such roads the right to run their trains, engines and cars over the bridge and approaches. "The Chicago Great Western la an ag gressive, Independent and valuable lino to all cities which It reaches. It seeks In thla action to enforce the provision of the Saun ders deed, which the citizens of Omaha In serted for Just such an occasion aa this. The Union Pacific company, having declined to open theae terminals to thla new road and having declined to permit It to come Into Omaha over lta bridge, notwithstand ing the provisions of the Saunders deed and notwithstanding tho act of congress referred to, it became necessary for this new company to assert and enforce lta rights by Judicial proceeding. " Railway Notes and Personals. President Burt has returned from a short trip out on the Union Pacific. General Manager Bldwell of the Elkhorn has gone west for a ten-day vacation. General Paaaenger Agent Buchanan of the Elkhorn Is in Chicago attending the meeting of the Western Passenger associa tion. The Illinois Central yesterday brought Into Omaha two cars of foreign immigrants bound for California. There were forty eight in the party. The foreign Immigration through Omaha is very heavy thla fall. The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Val ley has opened lta new Verdigris extension as far aa Anoka (railroad station for Butte. Neb.), which la within a very few miles of the end of the new line, Fairfax and Bone steel being the only other stations on that branch. The entire road will be opened within a short time. W. W. BHtes has beon named as agent for the new station. While all the western roads feared and have suffered somewhat from freight car shortage because of the enormous traffic, the general congestion which waa antici pated cannot be said to have materialized. Still all the roads are finding the task of getting enough cars equal to their best en ergies and resources. Several roads have found it necessary to build new freight cars and these are being rapidly employed. The new excursion service to Portland, Ore., arranged between the Union Pacific, Wabash and Hock Island hsji just been In augurated. One car will be run weekly from Memphis and one from St. Douls to Portland. The St. Louis car will travel over the Wabash to Kansas City, the Rock Island from there to Denver and thence on to Portland over the Union Pacific. The Memphis car goes over the Chocktaw, Okla homa & Gulf and the Union Paclttc. A party of Missouri Paciflo officials, con sisting of the following, arrived in Omaha yesterday: B. H. Payne of St. Ixuls, as sistant general passenger and ticket agent; C E. Styles and W. C. Barnes, Kansas City, aaslmant general passenger agent and traveling passenger agent respectively; BIs sell Wilson, Chicago, district passenger agent; lien ton Truck, St. Joseph, and Fred Cornell, Lincoln. traveling passenger agents.

UNION GETS MORE, NEW MEN FROM EAST Statement frona. President Bart's Of fice Contradicts Rumors of Set-. tlement nnd Indicates End of Tremble Is Remote. Judging from the number of nonunion men leaving the shops the Union Pacific la meeting with limited success In forcing piecework upon Its present army of Im ported workmen. Twenty-three men are said to hare been In the company that left the local shops yesterday morning, and the reason they give for their leaving Is that they were required to work by the piece, notwithstanding the fact that the con tracta under which they were employed specifically provided that a certain dally scale would be paid. The men protest their Inability to earn a fair day's pay under the piecework system. Strikers, however, claim that these men are not skilled or competent mechanics, and there fore are Incapable of earning a fair day'a pay at mechanics work under any system. Ten new men were imported Into the shops as these twenty-three went out. This process of give and take has been going on ever since the Brat of the strike, and the company's assertion that It is able to hire more men than It needs seems amply Justi fied, though the competency of the men thus employed Is a question of serious con sideration among the strikers. End of Strike Remote. Despite varied reports and rumora of a settlement the end of the strike still seems to be remote. And yet strikers assert their belief that the 'company will be forced to a settlement as soon as cold weather sets in. . Their theory is that the defective motive power will not survive the effect of cold weather. This argument Is strength ened by statements from many trainmen who have expressed opinions on the subject recently. If there la any intention of opening ne gotiations for a settlement on the part of the company the latter is guarding its plans sacredly. From President Burt's of fice the statement was given out that ab solutely no plan or move for a settlement was even in contemplation. Reports come to local strike leader from the Wabash mechanica who are on a strike that the Union Pacific may send sone of its present force of strike breakers down there, but this report only creates amusement here. Strikers are not alarmed over the possibility of a Harrlman road helping out the Wabash In this way. Sore Aid to Vonm Life.
