kind of improvements, tlio fact that they
were recommonded by several grand juries
and approved by the Stato lloaid of Public
Charities, tlio cost not to exceed the limit ot
$75,0J0. Tlie Judge identified ins hand

tlieie wu,s some dispute about where this
order of court was during tho intorv.ew.
Judge Pershing identified tlie conn-act i-
pnned by court fixing tho loinpen .Hum ol
Aicbitect Win. D. Hill at f', 000. Time l.ad
been a previous cunt met submitted hi li lie
had lelused touptiroxo because difi'ereiit per
centages for dill'eient portions of tho work
were mentioned which made it dilheult nud
impossible to estimate what tho Aicliitect
fees would amount to. it was then decided
at this meeting that a round sum ol two
thousand dollars would be allowed tliu archi
tect for all work from beginning t" end. Sir.
Ulricb said lie would have tho second con
tract drawn up and present it to court. He
did so and it was the one appioved.
Sir. Ulricli objected to any questions about
tlie old contract, but court allowed them.
O. Wcro you informed by the Commis
sioners that they had already paid $1,025 on
the architect's work when they presented
thesecond contract of Slay 11, 1805, and that
tlie S'.'.OOO fco was to bo additional.
A. They did not.
Q. Did they not inform the court that the
f 2,000 was to bo the entire feo for architect'.
fees from beginning to end 7
A. They so informed us.
Q. Was it not expiessly stated that thi-
$2,000 was.to coverall compensation to the
architect.
A. It was not expressly stated at tlio time
tlio last contract was considered hy Judge
llechtol and myself, but when tlie first con
tract copy was presented and spoken about
wo were lelt under that impression.
Sir Ulricli objected to further question'
on that line and court overruled Iiiin. An
exception was uotcd
Sir. Hyon also object and was overruled.
Sir. Whalcn : Was it not possible at that
tune to get other aicbiteets to do all tin
work for $2,000 V
A. Sly impression was that was said hi
Judge Ilechtel in presence of Sir. Uliicli. Thai
was ono of tlio reasons wo would not agree to
a percentage. We could not calculate from
the percentage plan what tliu pay would
amuunt to.
Judgo Ilechtel : Was it not Hiid thn a live
percent, or any percent, clause would make
it profitable for tlio architect to incieato the
oust of tlio building?
A. I bellovo that was said.
Sir. Ulrich : I also remember that that was
said.
Sir. Whaleu. Woro any of tlio plans
hpecitic.it ions presented to the court for ap
proval ?
A. No, sir.
Q Did you liavo any correspondence on
tlio subject.
A. Yes, sir. I wrote to them Fell. 22, 1MM),
um! they replied Feb. 21, 1800, sayiug the
Hoard of Public Charlies had the plans and
specifications and bad not yet approved them.
Sir. Whaleu hero read lrom the minutes of
tlio Commissioners Feb. 21, 1800, which
stated that the clerk was instructed to write
tlio court about the plans nud specifications
which had been in tho hands uf tliu court fur
sumo tiiuo.
(J, Were they ever in your hands?
A. No, sir.
A lettor from tho Hoard of Charities dated
.March 25, 1B0H, to Clerk Council approved
tlio plans anil specifications and on the
strength of this court approved them on
April 0, 1800.
Under cross-examination by Ulrich ho
said the first meeting butweeu court and
Commissioners was held July 15th, 1805. He
took notes of the meeting. Tlio Commis
sioners wero there. I suggested the im
provements should be approved by thrco
iiraml Juries and it was said this was done.
I told them Judgo Ilechtel and myself re
garded the use uf coal oil to bo dangerous.
Steam heat was also considered.
Tho Judge read a very full account of this
meeting from notes ho had inadx. Sir. Ul
iicli was nut present at tho meeting. In his
letter ho expressed tho opinion that under
existing legislation for this county tlie Com
missioners had the light to change tho
method uf heating and lighting.
Iu answer to Judgo Itcehtcl ho said this
opinion only related to tho Improvements
and not to tho new buildings. It was said at
tlio meeting tlio laundry should bo moved
because it was located over tl.u boilers.
Sir. Ulrich i Uo you recollect that you
handed down to me tho order of court dated
April (1, 18011, and do you remember tlie
petition was attached to tlie order?
A. I think the older was handed to you,
but I can't remember about tho petition.
Judgo Pershing could not remember just
when they had the first talk about Aicbitect
Hill's compensation.
Q, Don't you recollect that both you and
Jiidgu ilechtel told mo you did not think it
necessary that Architect Hill's cuntiact bo
approved by the court ; and that 1 said that
I did not think so either, but as a matter uf
safety I believed it better to havo It approved
by the court?
A. I don't remember that ; nor that I said
it because tlio Act of Assembly only related
to mo erection ot nuiuungs.

(J. Did you know at tho time you approved

In answer the Jndgo read a letter to him
from tlio Commissioners written ill Novem

tions had been preiared at a cost of $500, and
that thev desired to advertise promptly In

O Don't vou remember that tho bids wcro

were Instructed to rut down tliu cost to comu

A. I had no personal knowledge of tho ad

o-dcr limiting the cost.
O. Don't .vou remember that Win, D. Hill

Sir. Ulricli said ho agreed witli tho Judgo

make it to the archite ct's advantage to have
tlie iiupiMvcmi nt i co I ii.mmli as lie pos

us beyond all question the one remedy that
can be depended ou to renotv tlie vitality of
fccblo persons.
This settled confidence In Paino's celery
compound is not a hearsay belief, but rests In
nearly every caso on personal use or acquaint
ance with men or women who ha?o"becn re
stored to useful health by no other means.
The rapid change for the better In color.flesh
I and expression of the face Is so unmistakable
to take and assimilate food, and regulates the
norves all over the body.
Tho heavy, alarming pain in the back and
loins disappears j the growing paleness and
loss of flesh is stopped and a bright, buoyant
feeling gradually takes tho place of that un
ending sense of tiro and depression.
Paino's celery compound is the exact
remedy for that large class of feeble, thin
blooded, often hystorical porsons whoso
greatest need is a thorough refurnishing of
their blood with tlio red corpuscles upou
which health and hkppiness in such large
measure depend.
The extraordinary virtuo of Paine's celery
compound to increase the proportion of red
corpuscles in tho blood is the sourco of its
greatest power oyer all blood diseases, rheu
matism, neuralgia, kidney diseases, back
aches, loss of flesh and general run-down
condition.
