CORNER FARNAM AND FIFTEENTH STREETS, OMAHA HOSPITAL T0 BE FIREPROOF That Much is Decided by Etate Beard of Pablio Lands. NORFGLK RUINS LOCK LESS PROMISING Governor Savage Doubts If There is Than One-Fifth Newn anka. More Ne- General ot (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, )t 28.—(Speclal.)—The State Board of Public Lands and Bulldings met in executive session with Governor Savage this afterncon and considered various plans for reconstructing the Nor- folk Hcspital for Insane. It was agreed that the building should be made strictly fircproof. but further than this no action vas taken. Architect Grant of Beatrice has been authorized to examine the ruins &nd no defiuite plans will be made by the beard until his report is received Governor Savage and Attorney General Prout, who returned today from Norfolk, consider the building almost & total loss. The walls of the west wing are still stand- ing and can probably be repaired without greut expense, but- otherwise there will v calvage, in their opinion With the exception of the west wing' eald the governor, “the building is virtually destroyed. The walls of the west wing can be used in rebulldiog by enlarging the Doles where the joists rest, but the rest of the masonry will have to be cleared away. In order to use the brick now in the walls each one must be taken from its pla cleancd of mortar and used in the new wall This is a tedlous process and the expense cannot help being very large. According to an estimate made by a Norfolk architect, the west wing cam be put into its original condition for $5,000. He bases his figures on the original cost of the bullding. When first bullt $17,000 was expended on the wing. It is claimed tigt the stone and brick cost $12,500, leav- 1% $5,000 for the Interior of the building But this is hardly a fair estimate in my opinion, because It will take a whole lot of time and trouble to replace the jolsts. May Save One-Fift “There is no way of estimating the loss with any degree of accuracy, but I have decided that about one-fifth of the entire structure can be saved by expending some money. The rest is gone glimmering. Here and thero portions of the walls can be re- habllitated, but other items of expense will be encountered to more than offset the gain, 1 belleve four-fifths of the value of the institution has gone up in smoke. s 1 remarked the other day, | am op- posed to the crection of anything except fireproof buildings for state purposes. Of course | am not & member of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings and am speak- ing Dow as & private citizen. It seems useless to erect anyihing else in view of the fact that the legislatures for many years have made no provision for insur- ing state bulldings.” “What cau the state do about rebullding the asylum?'" That is precisely what Is worrylng a great many people,’ answered Governor Sava At present there is not a dollar on hand that can be legally used even to pay au architect for looking over the ruins. 1 do not know what the Board of Public Laads and Buildings will do in re- gard to the matter, but it seems to me that the only way out of the difcuity is to let someone rebuild the asylum and walt uatil he legislaure convenes for re- imbursement. This 1s & big task. The chances are that the legislature would allow the claim without question, but they might not do it and there s no law to compel them to do so. The bids would have to be advartised in the regular way and | the contracts let in the usual manner. But there would be no recourse for the con- tractor In case the members of the legis- lature proved refractory. He could not commence a sult against the state nor could he execute a mechanics' len and | gain possession of the building ““At present I do not see how the Norfolk citizens could aid us in the matter. They are very anxious to do so and 1 am sure that they would raise the money to repair the west wing at once and wait for the leg- | {slature to relmburse them if such a course was poosible. But 1 believe the board will | have to advertise for bidders and award the contract in that way.' gation Inspects 1 Secretary Dobson of the State Board of | Irrigation returned today from Scott's Bluft | county, where he inspected several irriga- | tion and caal plants now in course of con- struction. “The work out there s progressing rap- 1dly,” said he, “and it is”probable that by next spring there will be a complete irri- | gating canal running through Scott's Bluff | county just below the river and for seve eral miles into Cheyenne county. The ditch has been finished, but it will be some | time yet before the water s put clear | through it. Some trouble is being ex- | perienced in the bad lands territory below Gerlng, but the engineers are confident | that all obstacles will be successtully over- | come and that the canal will be in good working order for spring cultivation. This canal will open up an immense amount of new territory and will greatly increase its value." Water Supply "apitol The new water plant at the capitol, which bas been in operation for three months, will be subjected to an official test ‘I next Monday prior to transferring it into | the possession of the state. Its total cost, including both labor and machinery, will be approximately $4,400. It has a capacity for pumpling 500 barrels per hour and its operation, when worked continuously, will cont less than 60 cents per day. Here- tofore water from the city mains has cost the state an average of $800 per year and the amount used has In no case equaled the supply of the new plant.
