To the editor of the Frek press. In answer to a letter which appeared in your last Issue headed Aro we All i bog to state for Tho information of that Tho Market build ing will to finished Complete for a sum not exceeding thirty one thousand exclusive of the filling up of the voids and the construction of a sower which is the sum appropriated. In the last Issue i Tho nor Wester one of the Able writers of that paper stigma Tizes All concerned or in an a Way connected with Tho Market to such a ludicrous extent that i confess i can not take any notice of his accusations. Thomas Inglis architect. Winnipeg oct 28th, 1875. The Market building. To Tho editor of the press. Please allow to space to reply to an article which appeared in Tho nor Wester under the same heading a the above. In commencing., i will refer you to whore the writer has said the site of the proposed edifice was known to the architect and to Tho contractor before and at Tho time of Tho letting of Tho i decidedly contradict such a statement As j had not Tho remotest idea of the building being placed on the ground it now occupies furthermore i believe the architect did not expect the building would to placed it now stands for the following Roaseu the plans he produced when the building was tendered for prove beyond a doubt that Tho building was not intended to to placed Over a Ravine. In another place Tho writer strongly hints that the chairman architect and contractor Are in collusion with each other which i consider a Gross insinuation and an in truth Tho writer of which ought to to a Little More careful in what to says. In reference to the contract itself i give my Friend to understand that he knows nothing of what my intentions and what they Are at the present time in relation to the contract and his not knowing such proves that his statements have no foundation and must necessarily fall to Tho ground. Tho next thing to notice is the striking Conti ast Between Tho scheduled rates attached to Tho contract and Bis calculation which to terms fair prices. We will commence. By. Him is considered As an extra but unfortunately for to is in Tho specification. He. Says. 83.50 is a fair Price per cubic Yard for Concrete. I claim ii Cost Rno More than that per Yard for some of the brickbats especially w 1 to general servant. A Jas. Henderson furrier. Clothing. J clothing. W. Palmer Clarke has a Large Ilock of Winter capote pea jackets. Also tory urge assortment of Woollen underclothing and a few cases Felt Over shoes. Specially applicable moved by or mule for cities and towns. Vey seconded by i Boll that Tho superintendent of e Hica Tion wait on the Hon the. Provincial Secretary and request him to furnish them with an abstract of Tho census re turns which have Beon lately made from the various school districts through out the province to to Laid Bosforo the Board at its next mooting. Carried those i purchased from him if i am no mistaken in my Tho following is about Tho real Cost o f Concrete per cubic Yard per cd Brick bats and breaking same 0 teaming bricks and Sand 1 Cement .11, Sand mixing and putting in foundation 2 total 20 7 Tho above does not include Tho cos of making platforms boxes the Lobar water Etc. Thus you so Tho Groat different there is Between Tho real Cost of con Croto per cubic Yard and the supposed Cost of it according to my Friend opinion. Lam willing to Uto his mistake in regard to the Concrete to his ignorance but surely it cannot be possible that a Man can to so devoid of that which constitutes a Man As to end that Tho remaining items in Tho Schechl Ulo Aro equally As High As those he refer red to. Take for instance Tho schedule a Price for la Moor and you will soc the clip Cantor and Joiner s Vor Alono will co St More than Tho Scho jul Price for labor and materials Combiner further to it was a thing Between Tho architect and myself that there would to a Larj 025.30 w.
