COURT HOUSE IN BAD SHAPE' Xitenser Filet Complaint with the County Board on Wood Finishing, j BASTE SAYS WOKS IS E0TTE5 i lntllnll DeTlaxa that De-1 . cratle t'osatT mH Ha Left ; tbe Affairs at Jt Balld las Badlr MaddW. Drastic criticism of th wood finiahinc la the new county buildinc and of othr work on the structure was mad by John j Latenser. architect of tb building, at the tint meetine of the reorgnliea Board of County Commiseioners yesterday. Jt resulted in a decision 01 the commis sioner to call in Caldwell aV Drake, the ft-eneml corurartora, and their bondsmen. County Attorney James P. English and 31 r. Latenser foe. a conference at which all matters In connection with the new buridlnt thoroughly will be threshed. Mr. Jjatenser's report was not the only matter in connection with the new build ing which wait discussed. Other details nere considered and it developed that the entire matter was left in a muddle by the old board. Mr. Latenser- report on the wood fin ishing was as follow: I find the finish is not Installed accord ing to specifications. The base should I housed Into plinth blocks. It I" lln Uhrd with butt joints, which have already opened up. The baas at all angles should be grooved and toogued; this refers to the chair rails also. The finish is put up, in the cheapest manner with ail bull Joints, except moulding, which is coped lie way to conceal a Joint in case of shrinkage. I find the doors are badly warped and don't fit the rebated jam. fonts doors are ne-quarter Inch otf at the top of door. oora also small In vtrith. showing one-eighth Inch to three elkteenths Inch Joint on some doors. I lind panels In some of the doors are shrunk and show one-eighth Inch snnna sge from finished stvle. The bae is l-adly drawing away from the plaster n some places. Floors In most all the looms ar badly coped. I find a good many joints opened In base and casing and chair rail." Vaalt Oaors Bad. Mr. Laisnser declared that the vault doors which Caldwell Drake proposed to put In Iba new building and which he condemned nearly three months ago be cause they were below specifications, still are In the building, notwithstanding the fact that he put the matter up to the board long ago and Caldwell Drake appealed to the board from the architect s condemnation. i -The specified vault doors would cost about il.MO," said Mr. Latenser, "while the doors that ara over then cost about Jl JO er H,W." AbMlately ftattea." Commissioner A. C. Herts said that two weeks ago ha had occasion to visit the new aounty building, looked over the woodwork and found It "absolutely rot ten." The filling, he said, was terrible, air. Latenser said such work never should se tilled at ait. A resolution calling upon the architect for a complete report of all progress on tlte building since Its construction was begun, giving amounts paid, amounts due, and balances on hand was unanimously adopted. As soon aa this report Is re ceived the conference with the contra c 'v tors, their bondsmen and others Interested 111 be called. , ' During the discussion It developed that when former Commissioner Oscar J. I Pteaaiw and Commissioner Fster K Klaaasar recently visited the quarries and i general offices of the Colorado Tula Mar Ma company In Marble, Cola., the com pany's officials proposed another substitu tion In the niarbls contract and Mr. i rickard told them ha thought the board I would approve the substitution. j Will Not Take Saaetltat. As a result the company has shipped samples of golden vein marble, which it wishes to substitute for Pavaneao marble in the plasters. The samples arrived yes terday and the commissioners otdarOj to look at them as a matter of courtesy, but 1 I Commissioner Harte, Lynch, Elssaser had Best declared they have no Intention ; of approving any substitution. i The board voted to pay Caldwell at i Drake s claim for work don during De cember, tll.Ms.7i.
