o Question About Inferior Quality
Of Work?Sanitary Committee
Condemns New
Work as Well as
Old.
Columbia, S. C May -10.?
bo committee appointed by
ov Ileyward to investigate the
initary condition of the state
)uso made a report this morn
ig. They explored every nook
id corner of the building, whore
lc trouble might possibly lie,
ill the report fully sustains the
ateuients of Sccretay Oantt as
> conditions, and in fact goes
irthcr and condemns the satiiiry
arrangement altogether. Not
nly the old closets were shown
> bo in a bad condition, but the
ew ones eo/no in for equal conemulation.
The report goes into
utuiis ami it clearly shows that
II this work will have to bo dono
ver again. It may be recalled
lat when the work was going on
ol. Marshall insisted that it was
ot being done properly, and his
ontenlion is fully sustained by
nese gentlemen, who arc experts
nd totally disinterested, it is
nderstood that Architect Hunt,
,ho was brougt thereby the state
ouse commissi! n, has made the
anie report as to the sanitary arangenients
as well as litiding
rrors with a great deal of the
it her work on the building. The
tate house commission was aplointed
especially to look into
!iis matter and make a report to
lie next legislature. It is likely
hat their icport will show that
housands of dollars will have to
>e spent to put the building in
hapo, notwithstanding thousands
invo ill road v lu'i-n snnnl Tim
inilding having boon accepted by
lie commission, it may lie the
ontractor cannot be held responible,
but the fact that the work
one heretofore has been in many
espects of the very poorest qualty
is too evident.
