That Mr. Byrd may da sub-coatract under Mr , but the board had notbiog to do with that. He said the boar should clear itself and place itself in the proper light before the public.

President Leake called the bosrd to order at 8 0’ cio es He atated that meeting was for the purpose of 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}hot Mr. Davis asked to submit a the rules and regulations, stating that call for a meeting could be made upon request of three or more of the m' there its duty ended.

He saw no request had been} read and is found im another bart of |of the First district, and if so to de- made and this was the reason no meeting bad been called before. He then read a call for a meeting signed by Trus' Reddick, Rose, Taylor and Terrell, upon request of Archi- tect Davis. On motion, Capt. Davis was grant- ed the floor. He made a verbal state~ ment. .He said he was there in bis own defense. He regretted its necessity but was there nevertheless, He said he had been notified, not through the board, bnt through some of his friends, and bad received clippings relative to the action of the building committee. He then took up the re- and said that there was no uthe 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 a 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 maay as eighteen years, and nothing had ever been heard of apy 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 makes statement. He said he.was, uperintendent of comtructon of thi building, and had given bond to see that it was bailt according to plans ‘and speei: ions. 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 statement and was allowed. He 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 busisess. 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 statement. He said he hed 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, especially the Sux, with not knowing anything about building but had reported the condition of things just as they were, and was ready to prove it. He had bis report to the board relative to the building read, and said he desired to say nothing further, Mr. Davis then replied by explain- ing thoroughly every detail of the plans, Mr. Katterjohn took issue witi, bim in regard to @ stairway, and they contradicted each other time or two. Capt. Davis then said he wos willing to submit the plans to competent judges. That he 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 Davis and Mr, Katter- john were driving at. That thay had @ superintendent, and did not kmow whether the board wanted to take the matter out of Lis hand of Mot. Capt, Davis then said that the board owed it to him to hear bis side. ‘That the foundation was all right and he was able to prove it. President Leake reminded Capt, Davis that the board had appointed « committee'to investigate the alleged crackyand that it had decjded to tear out a corner and go two feet or moge lower & necessary: That the board had unanimously adopted the report of the committee. = Mr, Katterjohn said he would give $100 towards getting an expert here to decide who was right, but wanted & wan hom neither kne There was some other discussion tive to the sudject, when Dr. Reddick «moved, inasmuch as th committee appoipted to investigate the cragk'were not practical builder but somerof theya were ‘‘leg-sawers therefor@:that expert evidence be jn+ trodui determine the existence of the .
