16 THE SA CONTRACTORS GET MONEY AND GIVE NOTHING IN RETURN How the Public Has Been Swindled in the Construction of the New Ferry Building.

The Harbor Commissioners as honest men would be glad to have the public know. Attention was called vesterday to several items, among them the floor of the grand nave, which, as tructed, cost $29,400 1 gross. ci cor tain plan, and | than it crook, which is the same thing, the State has suffered, has paid for a sec- nd-c article freely the price of a first-class. Yesterday some attention was paid to the changes made, these ‘hanges not only marring the structure | but boosting to an extravagant figure | he gains of the contractors. In not | one of these changes was there a ben- efit to the State. In every one of them, on the contrary, was a distinct loss. Going back to the subject of the | floor, it would seem that the matter had been introduced to the Commis- sioners as an incident, shrouded in so many words that they failed to real its importance. It was December 1896, that Mr. McCarthy submitted the following proposition: Change terra cotta arches of the build- ing to expanded metal concrete arches; | omit the mosaic floors of the two exits | between the open nave and the open pas- | sageway and replace these surfaces with | the cement finish as specified for other | floors; omit the fireproofing of all girders and beams, but replace the portions at | onded by Mr. Colhon, the following res- olution was adopted: That this board shall and will execute an amendment to such contract, substi- tuting Colusa sandstone in the place of Oregon gray stone, according to draft of amendment submitted herewith by the attorney of the board, provided that vithin ten days from date the said Mc- Carthy shall file the written consent of his bondsmen to the original contract consenting to such change; otherwise such amendment to be inoperative. The amendment to the contract was then signed by the members of the board and by McCarthy. If the change was a betterment them the eye is deceptive. The Claus Spreck- els building is of the Oregon material. Comparison is invited. Besides, the price was not the same. The figures quoted above The Call believes to be correct. The State has a poorer stone, the contractor.a fatter contract. How- ever, this phase of the subject is a large one, and will be reverted to more than once before “finis” shall have been T e e B = | RE i TerraGfta Dases sad Phrths new Ormitted 5 ) Cediiarin [ white Enamelled Brick Chaaged to Marble ne - White Ensmelled Tor! -* DincrAn Srowing ONE DAY OF GRAND NAVE 24+ 46 BAYs Like THis -« would have cost had the specifications been followed. There is no desire to do anybody an injustice. The floor as completed may be as zood as the floor as planned, but it is not the floor the State pays for. When a contractor undertakes a certain work, and by get- | ting the specifications changed is en abled to sublet the work so as to ac- quire an extra profit so great as this, | he must excuse the tendency to demand a bill of particulars. The Loor was to have been supported by arched tiling bound by steel tles. the ties are omitted. There are architects who assert the method employed to be as good in every respect as the other; in fact, it has advocates confidently proclaiming its superiority. This is a side issue wholly. There is no desire to do in- justice to any system, and it is true that the expanded metal has been se- verely tested, and is now being put into buildings of importance in this city and elsewhere. The sub-contractors who constructed the floor of the grand nave are in no manner to blame. They offered to do the work at a certain fig- ure and they did it. They have the ut- most confidence in its stability and so have others. The fault is with a scheme which has permitted a contractor who was over them to reap a benefit which should have been the State's. The more the depot job is looked into the rottener it appears. This does not imply that many sub-contractors, like the gentlemen who put in the floor, may not have been entirely honest. It ADVERTISEMENTS.

The ayes and| noes were called for and the president‘ declared the motion carried. ArChitecl‘ Swain and Engineer Holmes advised the acceptance of the proposition. Now here was an artistic triumph for McCarthy. By a few words buried in a mess of minor proposals he had ob- tained the permission of the board to put in a floor which could be construct- ed for $39,400 less than the floor he had contracted to put in, and there was an express provision that he should be paid for it just as though there had been no change. But the board must not be too harsbly criticized. With a thoughtfulness which under the Mec- Carthy spell it did not always exercise, it refrained from bestowing upon him extra emoluments. For fear of getting tedious n glance may be taken in another directior. A glance in any direction will be apt o reveal something not only of interest but which certain persons wouid ruther not have bruited abroad. ‘T'he depot is built of Colusa stone. When bids being considered a decision vas “eac that the proper material was Oregon stone. It was understood that the latter was more expensive. In fact, there are statements that the bid on 000, and that the higher hid was ac- cepted. If this is incorrsct of course a few questions by the Grand Jury would bring out the truth. At any rate The depot is built of Colusa stone, some of it chipped, some patcned, and much of it badly tooled. The change was brought about as follows: At 2 meeting of the board April i6, 139€. Architect Swain submitted 2 writ- ten report, in which he rec)mmendad the use of Colusa stone in place of Or- egon stone, the price being the same. Chief Engineer Holmes zoncurred. The board indorsed this idea, and it was agrced that the best intec2sts of the State required that Colusa sandstonc written at the end of this serious se- rial. In the opening chapter as it appeared yesterday, there was an intimation of crookedness in other contracts. Here is part of the sequel: All the interior woodwork of the depot, contracted to | be finished in oak, has been changed to pine. More than this, a large part of it has been cut out. Still more than this even, the lucky contractors have been voted extra compensation because in the goodness of their hearts they have consented to use cheaper stuff and far less of it. If such a transaction has a funny look surely the gentlemen who brought it about will be glad of a chance to explain. On March 16, 1897, Architect Swain sent to the board the following letter: Replying to your request for my opin- ion as to the advisability of omitting all finish of all kinds in the mezzanine story of building and also of changing the in- terior finish throughout in remaining parts from oak, as specified, to kiln-dried Oregon pine in first story and finished in natural wood in second story, I beg to say that, while T would prefer to retain the oak material, yet, owing to the large increase of wood rendered necessary by revised plans, it will be impossible to execute the work in oak with funds at your disposal. I would, therefore, recommend that the finish in oak In mezzanine story and that the wood work in remaining parts be changed from oak to kiln-dried pine, as per bid of Bateman Bros., and in accord- ance with revised specifications of same, a copy of which I hand you herewith. Here is a copy of the proposition of Bateman Brothers, the same having been duly accepted: We herewith respectfully submit bid on proposed alterations and additions to our contract. * * * For the sum of $2995 we | agree to erect all additional partitions to waiting-rooms of first and second stories as per plans Nos. 209 and 210, dated Jan- uary 28, 1897; doubling all above parti- tions at lavatories, ticket offices, Wells, Fargo & Co.’s office and Postoffice; con- ditional that all interior finish work of first and second storles throughout be made of kiln-dried Oregon pine Instead ox oak, as called for in original' specifica- tions, and that all wood called for in the original specifications in mezzanine story be omitted, Here, as old Squeers might have re- marked, is richness. The contract had been let for oak. There was to have been a mezzanine story completely fin- ished. There were to have been many partitions, which wisdom or the lack of it abolished, and yet for this con- sideration, which any contractor might well have appreciated without having a reward thrown in, Bateman Brothers got a present of almost three thousand dollars.

Some of those contractors must be hypnot- ists. The plea of economy doesn’t seem to go. It is time to take another visit to the grand nave, which is a grand swindle as well. It is the floor of this which has caused so much discussion. Mr. Bell, of the firm which put the floor in, was at The Call office last night. He said his floor was in every respect first class, but admitteq that he put it in at $12,000 less than it could have been done under the original contract. “The board,” explained Mr. Bell, “said they wanted this money to use in another place. T understood it was to go to- ward the marble wainscoting in the nave.” Very well. But when the board per- mitted McCarthy to put in marble in- stead of glazed brick it was distinct- ly stated that he was to have for this and other changes, any one of which would have been richly profitable to him anyFow, the total sum of $2416. Mr. Bell was asked where he sup- posed the $12,000 saved on his contract had been applied. Naturally Mr. Bell did not know. Neither does anybody else who seems ready to tell. But it was applied to some Use€; the people paid it. But while in the nave it is worth while to look at this marble about which such crowing has been dome. Every charge of extravagance, every hostile eriticism is met by the jubilant rejoinder: “But look at our marble.” Well, let’s have a look, taking along an expert so as to be able to appreciate. Harry Fenworth is an expert cutter and fitter of marble. For three months he worked on this famous wainscoting, and he pronounces it a defective and dangerous job. When it is remembered that the marble cost 15 cents less a foot than the glazed brick it replaced and that for making the substitution the contractor got extra pay, this fact seems peculiarly irritating. “The whole north end,” said Mr. Fen- worth, “has fallen over an inch.” He tock out a rule, and demonstrated that the marble had settled until between the two extremes of the end wall there was the difference indicated. “Look at this three-inch marble band he continued, “it hths of an inch in has settled five-eig nine feet. ““The members of the molding on the cornice,” he went on, “have only one- | fourth of an inch bearing on each ather. | According to all rul of architecture and building, they should have an inch and three-quarters. Little marble | plugs are used to conceal the hollows | created by this shiftless method. | a scheme for saving marble, but it is It is bad work.” Mr. Fenworth called many defects which the eye could verify. Slabs supposed to be firm enough to stand indefinitely are so loose that they respond to a touch of the hand. Other slabs standing side by side ar~ out of alignment. Where slabs come against door frames the junction is crude, and about the edges discoloration has already set in. Among the many weaknesses exposed are two of a perilous nature. The great slabs over the doors leading from the nave to the ferry are insecure. “Some day,” said the expert, “they will fall. Instead of bei properly fastened by ‘T bolts to a beam they are held by eighth-inch wire which catches in the | marble three-quarters of an inch. The | thousand householders who have been vibration of the doors; will loosen these wires and the slabs ‘will come down, likely with fatal results.” Mr. Fenworth also declared that the “caps” were so flimsily fastened as to be liable to come down at any time. Then he took a glance at the mosaic floor. “The worst I ever saw,” was his comment. “There is as much cement in it as marble.” It will be recalled that the State agreed to furnish the cement. Con- tractors have not been backward in taking advantage of this. The outline printed this morning shows some of the grand nave work which McCarthy was paid for omitting. The grand knave will be the spelling of some name before this cruel war is | over. HIS NAME IS PERGIN. The Man Shot in the Junction Saloon Is Slowly Dying. The true name of the man who was shot in the Junction saloon, O'Farrell and Jones streets, early Friday morning by Charles Dunne, the night bartender, is D. W. Pergin, and not W. D. Perkins, al- though he was sometimes known by the latter name. He has been living with a woman for some years at 717 Bush street, and she | called ‘at the Receiving Hospital yester- day afternoon and identified him. He is a native of England, and once served in the English army. He also served in the army here for a short time. His death is only a question of hours, as the doctors say that he is slowly but surely sinking. Dunne has not yet been charged at the City Prison, and will not be till the result of Pergin's wound is def- initely known. —_————————— Rheumatism, kidney &liver diseases cured.

Mr. James declined !to act on the suggestion of the com- pany. With him it is a matter of prin- | ciple and not of the money involved.

That will make every meter on the circuit score up like a cash register. Mind you, I don’t say the companies do this; the Central never did, but I say it can be done, and in such a case a cuStomer might pay for about four times the amount of gas he had actually use “T repeat that there:is ample proft in the business without resorting to such schemes as tampering with meters or holding up customers for illegal de- posits.” The law regulating the dealings of the gas company with consumers is si- lent on the matter of “voluntary” de- posits before meters are placed in houses. The idea of “voluntary” depos- its was created in the minds of the cor- poration officials. The consumer, igno- rant of the law, paid the sum exacted when they went to the office of the gas company. Now that the corporation has virtu- ally admitted that it is not authorized by law to exact deposits, judging from the letter forwarded Mr. James, it is reasonably certain that those who have been imposed on in the past will asserg their rights. The gas company to-day has several hundred thousand dollars of “volun- tary” deposits to its credit in bank and drawing interest. The suit brought by Mr. James will in all probability result in the return of the money wrung from the gas consumer in the shape of “vol- untary” deposits. The gas company has practiced two ways of doing busi- ness. If the intending consumer went to the office and ordered gas furnished him he was compelled to make a “vol- untary” deposit. But if he notified the company through the mail that he wanted gas supplied him the meter was put in without the necessary “volun- tary” deposit. Those who gave their orders through the agency of “Uncle Sam” profited thereby. That the com- pany realized that it had no right in law to demand ‘“voluntary” deposits is but evidenced by the stand taken by the company. If it had the right to ask for “voluntary” deposits, the notices received by mail would have been ig- nored. The suit brought by Mr. James will be watched with interest by all gas consumer: ADVERTISEMENTS. 0000000000000 00000 © Cash or Little-at-a-Time Payments.
