PROVINCIAL = LEGISLATURE.

(Continued from page 7.)

Proceeding Mr. Shaw pointed out that a contract forthe erection of the new wing was entered intewith Walter Lowe for $20500. In that agreement ten sheets of plans are called for, but only eight have been submitted. Numbers | and 1@ are missing. No, 1 is an importaut plan as it shows the longitudinal building facing south and the fonodation. Why wes not this plan produced ? Was there not a design in suppressing it? The agreeeot shows how Mr. Lowe was to be paid. Any work omitted by the contractor was to be deducted ou the va'v-

fation of the architect who was to be the

sole judge, and for additional work re~ quired in alteration the amount was to be ayreed upon before commencing such ad- ditions, If there were acy extras, before such could be proceeded with aa estimate

of the cost of same had to be submitted his sigoatare

io the architect for L 4

aod that of the Commissioner of Public Works. This agreemevt was signed on August 27th 1896. On the

20th of August, 1896, Mr. Lowe rec ived a letter from the laie Secretary of Puhtic

Works, Mr J W Morrison, informing him

that hie tender bad been accepted anda bond of securi'y prep3red. Mr. Lowe

furnished two good securities, Mr Nizbol- and Mr McKay. But when the Leader of the Government found out that

it was Mr Lowe who received the contract

he wrote him a letter stating that he would bave io get a tbird recurity and he only gave him half # day to get this exira security. Tue Leader thus broke faith

with Mr. Lowe becauze he had previously acce;,ted two securities. The extra secu- rity was forthcoming in good time, how-

ever, and Mr. Lowe wes ready to proceed with the work, but Mr. Peters persuaded him oot to goto work that fall. If Lowe

put so much materialon the ground and began work he would be enitled to a certain amount of money by the 3lst of Decemier. But next year was an election year and Mr. Peters did pot want this payment .o appear in tae Public Accounts.

In that fall Mr Lowe staked out the

ground and the following spring began work. He began operations on the 19:h of

April and by the 23rdall the excavations for the outside wall! were completed. It was found however that the ground to the

east fell morethea was set forth in the plan. Althcugh the Commissioner sup- pressed the pilav showing thie defect he (Mr Shaw) bad a copy cf it in bis posses— sion aud it showed a fali of six inches in a distance of 192 feet. But in April a fall of 4 feet was discovered, and in erder to carry ow! the plan it would be necessary to ewing the building in ths wir. According to the sepeciticatio. there was a.8o @ foot of sod to be taken out which would leave the eastern end 18 inches in the air. Mr. Chappell then suggestsd another mode of measuring aud this made it worse than the first. Iben Chappel! wished Lowe to, r.ceed avywe', prowising if be did that ve would hei, bim out on the proposed new college. But M:. Lowe wanted a written certificate from

Chappell that he © was proceed ing on the right line. To's Mr. Chappell refuced., When Lowe

got the contract the auuex was to be heated from the old boiler although it was to be fifty feet from the main building and was :o to be conn‘cted by atuunel. Ibe heating was to be by pipes from the old building. Lowe wrote to the Gurney~ Massy Company in regard to the heating and subsequently met their agent, Mr. Carron, io Mr. Chappeli’s office. Mr. Lowe described tne plan of heating to Mr, Carron who said it could not be dove in the way proposed. Oo the 27th Chappel! made a proposi- tion to Mr. Lowe to dig the trench and put in the masonry and he would make it up by decreasing the stories, the chimneys, and the radiators. lowe declined the proposition because it would violate his wntract, He knew tbat when the found- ition was completed the commissioner would step in 40i make him do the work accoriditg to the specification. Later on Lowe’s securities went to Chappell and he agreed to meet Lowe at the Asylum o1 the 28th Aprilat 4.30 o’clock. Lowe weat out to the Asyluns, and waited th-re till 7.30 but Chappell did not show uy The same evening Lowe went to the con.~ missioner and be promised to send out bis engineer to report onthe stave of affairs. The government refused to bring down the in this cas, but he (Mr Shaw) bad obtained a cupy of it despite them. ‘Lve engineer submitted a report which stated tuat the grouod was lost at i7@ feet and thac the plans would leave the building 7 inches in the air on the southern side. Further on in the engineer’s report it is stated that the contractor had done his part and that the material on the ground was first class. On the Sth of May the Commissivner went out to the Asylum aod ordered Lowe pot to proceed with the work until he consulted the Leader of the Government. Mr Peters sent for Chap pelland after hearing Lim thought that the matter was only a dispute between Lowe and Chappell. Altout this tiae Mr. Petera wentto New York and the Com« missioner was helpless except to draw bis pay. Os the 12th of May the matter wae brought to the notice of the hon member for West River. He, with the Commice~ sioner, the Cierk of the House and the Government Engineer went t» the Asylum and condemned the foundation. On the 14th of May Chappell signed an agree- ment to pay Lowe for extra excavation and foundation. This agreement he gave to the Commissioner of Public Worke. Thus is the architect agreeing to pay Lowe and becomin

g & part of the contrac; he was to inspect bis own work and judge it. Of course Lowe would not agree to this. The next day Lowe again went to

the Commissioner and the Commissioner said he would make it right. Lowe asked

for written, authority «and this the Commissioner refured. Then Lowe asked the Commissioner what

he intended doing, and the Commissioner said he would not doanythiog till Mr. Peters came home. Lowe wrote the Com missioner ceveral times asking for antbor~ iiy to proceed with the work especialty as the Comwwmissicuer said be was satisfied the building could not be built oD thas foundation Why then did the Commissioner refuse to give Mr. Lowe auwbority to go on with the work ? Lowe also showed Mr. Peters that | the roof was not sufficient, and the Jatter | said he would see Lowe in a day or two. But before doing so he went on an e-ection campaiga. The engineer madcea second report in whch he recommended certain improvemen’s in the foundation. He also fouod the root frame too light and mede o her suggestions. This wes on June 14th. [on the face of all this the Government

would not give Lowe authority to go on even with the foundation. Mr. Peters wanted the estimate of cx'ras and Lowe

said he would give it if the architect was dismissed. Later, however, be submitted the estimate to the Commissioner aod asked for $5009 to pay for material, $8000 worth of which was already on the ground. Fe also asked for sp extension of time, But the Goreroment’s inhumanity in thie respect is a lasting disgrace to them.

The Peoole’s Faith

Firmly Grounded Upon Real Merit —They Know Hood’s Sarsaparilla Absolutely and Permanently Cures When All Others Fail.

Hood’s Sarsaparil‘a is not merely a simple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock, Stil- lingia and a little Iodide of Potassium.

Besides these excellent alteratives, it also contains those great anti-bilious and liver remedies, Mandrake and Dande- lion. It also contains those great kidney remedies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and Pipsissewa.

Nor are these all. Other very valuable curative agents are harmoniously com-

bined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla and it is carefully prepared under the personal supervision of a regularly educated pharmacist.

Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a matter of surprise? You can see why Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other medicines totally, absolutely fail.

What Cranks We Are.

“It is sometimes brought home to me,” said the Jersey City man, ‘‘what awful cranks we human beings are. For in- stance, take the man up stairs and myself. We consider ourselves pretty good fellows, but just listen. I always “stop in at the agent’s office to pay my rent, but recently there bas been a change of agents and the pew man sent his clerk around for the money on the first of the month. I mast confess I was ‘riled’ at the seemingly im- plied distrust, and told the ycung man, not overgently, that he might get out with alacrity, and that I’d pay the rent at the office as usual. He left without visit-

| ing my friend up stairs, who later in the

month dropped in at the agent’s and paid up, with the advice to the clerx that if the money was worth having it was worth calling for, and that it would not be forth- coming in the future unless it were called for.

‘‘Now, what do you suppose that clerk thinks of mankind?’’—New York Sun,

Cupid breaks his bow at the sight of a face full of pimples. Hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and a sallow comp!exion wil] defy his best intentions. Beauty is more than skin deep. The skin 1s merely the surface on which written ‘n plain characters the condition of the body. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is good for the complexion because it makes the whole body healtby—-tecause it clears and purifies the blocd, makes the digestion ‘trong ard clears out impurities of all kinds.
