DAVIS TURNED DOWN The Poard of Education Refuses to Allow Him to Introduce ProofLively Meeting of the Board. : C Statements Made by Both Capt. Dayis and Mr, Katterjohn—All But Two of the Board Were Present, The board of education wet last night in called session, with » large crowd in attendance. The mei present were President Leake, Seer tary Rose, Terrel!, Brooks, Taylo Smith, Reddick, Walston, Bauer and Ashbrook. Weil and Allen were ab sent. Capt, Davie, Contractor F, W Katterjohn, and several local con tractors and a number of citizens were among the spectators. President Leake called the bosrd io geaer ob 82-16: He stated that meeting was the purpose hearing a report from Architect B. B Davis in regard to the new school building now in course of construc- tion, He read a section from the rules and regulations, stating that a call for a meeting could be made upon request of three or more of the mem- bers He saw no request had been made and this was the reason no meeting bad been called before. He then read a call for a meeting signed by Trustees Reddick, Rose, Taylor and Terrell, upon request of Archi- tect Davis. On motion, Capt. Davis was grant- ed the floor. He made a verhal state- ment. .He said he was there in his own defense. He regretted its necessity but was there nevertheless, He said he had been notified, not through the board, but through some of bis friends, and bad received clippings relative to the action of the building committee. He then took up the re- port, and said that there was no crack iu the building. He analyzed the subject and explained a every detail that was mentioned in Mr. Katterjohn's report. He said the committee certainly had not given the building critical ex- amination, That there was no crack, and the mortar had only fallen out in one place, which may have resulted from a freeze or a jar, He said he had lived in Paducah for eight years and had designed many much larger buildings elsewhere, which had stood for as mamy as eighteen years, and nothing had ever becn heard of any defect in them. He expected the school building to be a monument to his ability, and did not desire to see it rvined. Mr. Katterjobn was requested to make a statement. He said he.was uperintendent of GOnStRWCHON of th building, and bad given bond to see that it was built according to plans and specifications, He stated he had discovered the defects, or alleged de- fects, and had mentioned them to Mr. Lassiter, who has been in Mr. Davis’ office since the latter left. Capt, Davis then asked to make a statement and was allowed. He said when he left Paducah he expected to be gone a year at least, and it was a question whether he would ever re- turo or not. When he left, hewever, he surrendered his busiwess. iatend- ing to resume it if he came back. The point he desired to make was that Mr. Lassiter did not represent him, and that he had no representa- tive here, Mr. Katterjohn then resumed his tement. He said he had simply reported the condition of things and had not attempted to place any blame on anyone, He had the plans to fol- low, and intended to follow them, un- less otherwise ordered by the board. He had never ssid anything detri~ mental to Mr. Davis, he alleged. He bad been charged in some of the pa- pers, esp ly the Scn, with not knowing anything about building but bad reported the condition of things just as they were, and was ready to prove it. He bad his report to the board relative to the building read, and said he desired to say nothing further, Mr. Davia then replied by explain- ing thoroughly every detail of the a Mr, Katterjohn took issue witi, him in regard to « stairway, and they contradicted each other a time or two. Capt. Davis then said he was willing to submit the plans to competent judges, TI e desired to do it and shew who was right, and wanted to introduce experts, President Leake then said he didn’t think the board understood what Architect Davisand Mr. Katter~ john were driving at. That thoy had 4 superintendent, and did not know whether the board wanted to take ihe matter out of hig hand aid Capt, Davis then that the board owed it to him to bear bis sfde. | 2° That the foundation was all right and he was able to prove it. President Leake reminded Capt, Davis that the board had appointed « committeeto investigate the alleged crackyand that it had decjded to tear out @ corner and go two feet or moge lower ff vecessary: That the board had unanimously adopted the report of the committee. . Mr. Katterjohn said he would give $100 towards getting an expert here *feut, whoever he might be, in the con- ness men should have acted hat he board had acted on all the evi- dence there was before the boar’— the report of the committee, and ordered a defect, as they believed— remedied, as they should havedove in discharging their obligation to the public as trustee: He explained further that Mr, Byrd, former ebair- man of the building committee, hod not been let any contract by the board, as inferred from an artiele in the Visitor. That Mr. Byrd may have had a sub-contract under Mr Hymarsh, but the board had notbiog to do with that. He said the board should clear itself and place itself in the proper light before the public The action of the board in adopt: ing the plans and specifications, and in investigating the alleged ‘‘erack”’ was read from the records, Mr. Terrell then said the board tad taken every precaution im the on of the building. He sai Mr. Davis, under the original agree- ment, was to assist the superintend REPUBLICANS MEET.
