In the platter of the complaint of Mr. R. C. Gardner, in refs:rence to the building cads set by the Engineering Department on the corner of North West Twelfth Street and Fifth Avenue, (old Ave. J and let Street), I have gone into this matter as thoroughly as possible and I cannot believe that the Engineering Department could have made the mistake of furnishing the grades that were used in building the foundation and in laying the cement floor of this build- ing. I.ir. Frank Faulkenberry, the contractor, told me that he took the grade stake at the North East corner of the lot and worked from that grade stake, it appearing to be the highest point. He stated further that there was a whole lot of rubbish and cement blocks at this corner which took him over a day to move same, and that it was probable that the grade stake had been knocked down and reset. 1 have gone over the situation v:ith L1r. Gardner told him that any suggestion he had to make, in refcrenoe change that would remedy the situation, the city would be cooperate and assist him in making the changes. Respectfully yours, P. H.
