Cottrell of Phoenis and Albuquerque to inspect the project and make recommendations We will tear down and rebuild any masonry Wall that does not meet our high standards for construction, Peterson said Wednesday. However, Cottrell said in Gal lup Thursday that this will not be neces sary “I feel we can repair the walls to make them safe,’ said Cottrell “They will be completely reinforced and will be stronger than normal construction. This will be the fastest and most economical way,’ said Cottrell, who last year corrected construc tion problems in the then—new New Mex ico Highway Department building in Santa Fe We will make sure the walls are safe and structurally sound,”’ said Jay Gilbert, job superintendent for the general contrac tor, Morefield Construction of Los Angeles Our company stresses safety strongly Gilbert had been in a trailer minutes before one of the falling walls crushed .t No one was injured in the Dec. 4 wind inci dent Before the storm about 85 per cent of the walls for the three major tenants, Alber tsons Market, Thrifty Drug Store, T.G.
