Corlies, cosmmaestoNeR RORDICE did not suppose the paper could be mado a sub ject of dixeusuion, but there was one point in it which seemed to him would go considerably against tho whote reasoning, It waa atated thut after the plang were asked for, and one adopted, soontract was to be entored into botwoon tLe city and tho architect. It way evident that thet had not been carried ont; but the claim wan tlat ithad been by implication: That, he thought, militated ayainat the argument. ‘THE CHAIRMAN stated that hia recollection of the matter wis that, in ali the conversations with all tho archi: tecta who came bofore the Committee to oxplain their plans, tt was undorstood that any plans which were choson as the prizo plans wore the Proporty of the city and county as soon as they were adopted and tho premiums paid,—that their adoption did not carry with it the employ ment of tho architect; tho expreasions used be ing to tho effect that tho county and city had the right to choose whom thoy ploasod to carry out suy plan, and although the chancos word that the usual rule would be followed, aud the person who furnished the adopted plan be the one to superintend tho erection of the build ing, provided the cout was reasouablo. After tho plans wore adopted, somes of the architots ‘he wau not sure whether Mr. Tilley was one, ut knew Mr, Mata and Br. Gay cailod), came for what waa callod tho * perspective,” which, thoy said, the city and county had no claim ou, ainco it belonged to them. That was correct, be- cause one of the provisions of the advertisement way that oo porepective should be furnished. and they had auked permission to haudit up with the plang, iu order to show the appearance of the building. Hoe did not think any one of the architects bad an idoa, if lus plane woro adopted, that he was tobe selected to superintend tho construction ; at leaat that wus hiv 2mpreasio trom thelr conversation ; and it seemod to bits ifthe city and couaty were liable tosny one ye the adoption of plans, they wore liable to Otto Mata because bis was tho ono virtually adopted. Mn, Walt, roferred to the Clark cave, saying that there ‘was 110 contract botween the Building Commitie® of the church and the architect. Mr. Collier hsd had a private talk with Mtr.
