INSPECTION OF PLAZA PROJECT PLANS STARTED Trustees May Meet Next Week to Open Bids — Halted Tuesday. Examiners in the office of Lawrence F. Orr, chief examiner of the State board of accounts, today went over plans and specifications for the foundation of the building of the Indiana World War Memorial Plaza. Marcus S. Sonntag, of Evansville, president of the memorial board, postponed awarding of the contract after Orr ordered the specifications submitted to the State board for approval. The board will await Orr’s report. Although no definite date has been set for letting the contract the Memorial trustees may meet again early next week, Sonntag indicated. Orr said it will take about three days to inspect the plans. Estimated cost of the foundation is $350,000. After Orr was informed the specifications called for the use of a particular kind of steel for reinforcing the concrete base of the structure he wrote Sonntag ordering the specifications be submitted as provided by law. An alternate material must be allowed, Orr said, when a specific material is designated. “I am absolutely opposed to a public board receiving bids on a public building when the law has not been observed,” Orr told the board. “You are no different from any other public body.” PROSECUTOR GRATEFUL Will Defend Man Who Sent Bootleggers to Jail.
