foundation of which was partly laid last fall came up from Salt Lake yesterday prepared to resume work but found that a committee which had been appointed by the council to examine and report upon the strength and adequacy of the foundation had not made their report There is no doubt in the mind of this writer that the objections raised to the foundation of this proposed hotel were conceived con-ceived in malice or ignorance or both and born of a desire to retard an enterprise that would be of great benefit to the city The question submitted to them oW should havo been promptly decided u by the committee so that the architect might know just what to do Let it once become known and understood that obstacles are to be thrown in the way of men who desire to put their money in buildings in this city and the building boom will never reach very great proportions It is all right to insist upon haring heavy superstructures rest upon solid foundations but the time to protest against foundations is not after they have been completed but when the footings are being laid and the walls constructed |
