Condition of earth below footings, I know nothing of. Outside foundation walls seem in good <br />condition. Whether proper bonding of stone and brick walls have been employed I do not know but understand that the iron bonds have been omitted.<br />Be that as it may, stone & brick properly bonded to each other need no iron for the height of your building. In regard ? partition wall in the basement, in my judgment it seems <br />like very poor construction.<br />In the first place, the stone used in the construction are very small which causes the use of too much lime mortar which is poor bond for small stone. Then the brick that<br />have been used for the facing of the basement are not properly bonded together to the walls , ensure the walls not splitting lengthwise, if stone had been used exclusively except for <br />chimney breasts, Piers, & ? chimneys with plenty of ?bond stone reaching clear through the walls, then no brick would be necessary. As the partition walls are being built great <br />care need as to be taken in starting the walls for the first story on the cross walls in basement are liable to split.<br />Reg? respect, fully submitted<br />Signed C.M Chittenden<br /><br />June 10 1903<br />The entire Board of Library Directors then visited the library grounds and building in a body for the first time.
