District Plan for Stone Supply Adopted for New Building
The building commission adopted Capt. Chester Harding's plan to contract directly with a quarry for supplying stone for the new municipal building. A separate contract will cover erection, with the District delivering the stone. The action aims to save time and widen stone choice, following Library of Congress precedent. The commission will advertise for light color stone with broad specifications to secure best, properly dressed, promptly delivered material and begin spring construction. Capt. Harding supported an unlimited competition to maximize choice and likely lower prices.
