ASKING AN INVESTIGATION. Trouble at the New Naval Observatory Between Contractors and Supervisor. WLAUGHLIN AND CO. FILE WITH SECRETARY TRACY CHARGES OF INCOMPETENCE, INSOLENCE, ETC., AGAINST ASSISTANT ARCHITECT GRANT AND ASK FOR AN INVESTIGATION. Messrs. P. H. McLaughlin & Co., the con- tractors for the new naval observatory above Georgetown, yesterday, through ex-SenatorCon- ger and Mr. R. H. Thayer, filed with Secretary Tracy charges against W. H. Grant, assistant architect in charge of the work, asking for an investigation and the removal of Mr. Grant, They note that the complaints made on the 9th instant, which caused delay in the work on the great equatorial building, were promptly acted upon and the matters complained of settled in & few days, and ask that the manage- ment of the work by Mr. Grant be investigated. They charge that, owing to the want of familiarity by Mr. Grant with any branch of the work, he is incompetent to superintend it. They charge that he is ignorant in construing the R and specifications, and thereby causes long and vexatious delays, which militate against the government as well as the contractors. They State that in the beginning of the work he ac- cepted the cement known as Round Top, and after having the contractors grind it had them haul two hundred barrels awi That he gave them a list of Rosendale cements to select from and they selected the Bridge brand the quality used in the construction of the dyn bridge) and ordered a cargo of 2,800 barrels, and after 104 barrels had been received he rejected the whole cargo and condemned the lot, notwithstanding that it was first-class, They charge further, that he is insolent in manner to the workmen and is continually giv- ing orders to them @ver the heads of the con- tractors; that he purposely delays making esti- mates of the amount of work done, thereby Preventing prompt payment to the workmen, utting them to great inconvenience and caus- them expense and loss, They further charge, that on November 9 they contracted with the National press brick company for brick at $8.20 per 1,000, di delivery was commenced November 14 and continued to January 3, when, in consequence of Grant’s arbitrary action, the brick company was compelled to annul the contract after fur- nishing 285,000 brick, and the contractors were compelled to go into the open market and pay per 1,000, and in consequence of his (Grant's) action they have been put to great loss. in money and time and will be prevented from completing the building at the time the con- tract calls for. ~ What is Said in Official Circles. The course of governmental construction never runs smoothly, for by some inherent de- fect in human nature contractors are almost sure to fall out with those above them, and then the fur flies. This rule has been established by long years of building, complaints and charges, extensions of time and suits on con- tracts, and it is confirmed as a truth by the ex- perience with the new naval observatory. As is shown by the paragraph printed in another part of this issue, there is trouble between the contractors and the architect, or rather the architect's representative, Grant. It is ted that the charges that have been preferred by the contractors against Grant have not yet been received at the Navy de; ment, and nothing is known about them at the observatory, although there has for 8 time been a feeling that something of the kind must surely evolve itself out of the jar and friction that have come to exist at the new building. ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE. The trouble is not recent, but dates almost from the time when the first spadeful of earth was dug. A Stan reporter was informed that the contractors were inclined to rush matters ahead. and chafed sorely under the restraint of Mr. Grant, who believed in making haste slowly. He helda check rein over them at every turn, and when it came to the time for mixing their cement and mortar he established certain rules of procedure in regard to mixing and handling that the contractors did not re- gard as practical, claiming that he made them keep the cement so long after mix- ing that it deteriorated. Contractor Mc- Laughlin has had an extensive experience in his business, having been in charge of the work of replacing the foundation of the Wash- ington monument with cement, and claims to be pretty well up in the matter of handling that sort of material. He made a verbal complaint about the methods of Mr. Grant to the superin- tendent of the observatory, Capt. Pythian, and offered to bring any quantity of expert testi- mony to show that his waytwas better, THE LAST STRAW. There have beon many other little things connected with the construction that have caused complaint by the contractors, and the last straw was heaped on when, not long ago, Mr. Grant, becoming dissatisfied with the work of the boss bricklayer, who is really the sub- contractor, ordered his discharge. There was a lively scene between the two, and a liberal use of strong English by excited arti- sans, and now the sub-contractor, like Mohammed's coffin, hangs betwixt heaven and earth, as it were. This undoubtedly was the cause of the charges, and willbe one of the main points in issue in tha investigation that is almost sure to follow. DISSATISFACTION AMONG OBSERVATORY PEOPLE. There is but little doubt that the observatory folks are not very well pleased with the man- ner in which Architect Hunt's representative has conducted affairs at the building, and in view of this fact the charges will probably be indorsed with a recommendation to investigate when they come back from the observatory, where, in the course of official events, they will have to be referred. THE NEW BUILDING is not progressing as rapidly as it should, owing to numerous changes that have had to be made in the plans and also to the slow methods of construction. The contract called for comple- tion in eighteen months from the date of sign- ing, but thero were at least six months’ delay at the start on account of modifications, por seten sash ston ease Interior Department Changes.
