He objected to tly to DeRemer. At an- other point in his report he said that findings of the committee indicated “DeRemer was not keeping very close track of the work for which he was being paid,” and adding “testimony he did nothing relative to de- signing, creating or constructing, contenting by merely making objections.” Matthael said he failed “to see the point stressed under the subject of unit prices. All changes that have been made so far, were fully covered allowances Want Ad Taker Phone 32—Ask for a BUSINESS SERVICE GUIDE under or alternate pro- |, posals received at the time that the bids were opened. “The so-called schedule ‘D,’ upon which so much stress has been laid, has never been accepted by the board of state capitol commissioners. The evidence shows that they were merely minimum for certain that might be made if it was desir- able to do so in the future. “The items under Schedule ‘D,’ ‘E,’ ‘F’ and ‘G’ have never been agreed upon, nor accepted, nor is there any evidence submitted to the investiga- ing committee, nor in the ofifce of | the secretary, nor in the minutes that the board has ever taken action thereon. Therefore, in my opinion, See mat any an unn waste of time.” Matthaei said the general contract was let to the Lundoff-Bicknell com- pany of Chicago and “the board of state capitol commissioners followed the letter of that law in a very exact manner in letting this contract.” Points to Moline He added that E. A. Moline, the un- Successful bidder, was subpoenaed and was in attendance at the hear- ings from Jan. 25 to Feb. 1 at the ex- pense of the state of North Dakota, but was not called by the attorney for the committee to take the wit- ness stand, hence I cannot other than assume that he could not and would not have contended that his bid| was low.” Among 30 “ultimate facts” outi in Matthaet’ ineh employed part time, desires place pele tag for board and room.
