The city council held a special session last night, and, forming itself into a com- mittee of the whole, decided to recom- mend to the council, at its regular session next Tuesday night, the rejection of all bids for the erection of the new city hall, The committee proceeded to business with Alderman Lowry in the chair, and before the committee had been in session fifteen minutes the meeting developed’ mto a “go-as-you-please” talking match between Contractor Ed Brennan and Mr, Balcombe, of the board of public works, and City Engincer Tillson. The entire’ trouble grew out of. the fact that Mr, Brennan 1s using limestone in the super- structure when the contract called for Colorado sandstone. After the ob, able m; had been put in place En- gineer Tillson and Mr., Balcombe went outon a tour of inspection, and, seeing the limestone n the foundation, de- sired to know from Mr. Brennan where he got his authority, to substitute that stone for Colorado sand stone. Mr. Brennan gave Mr. Meyers, the architect of the building, as his au- thority, and stated that the council had been apprised of the fact. This was de= nied by several of the councilmen, and the matter brought to the attention of the commiitee on public buildings and roperty. As the mutter stands now, it isclaimed by the city engincer, 1% would be dangerous to place o building erected after the plans of Mr. Meyers, on the sub-structure now being crected by Mr. Brennan, Things were growing amusing last night when President Bechel moved that the committee rise and report to the ncil as stated above. “I'liis will ne« sitate the advertising for new bidg for the main _structure and Contractor Brennan in all probability will take the watter into court.
