carried out under his supervision he was 
to be paid 5 per cent on the lowest 
tender, or 3 per cent if the buildings were 
not constructed. The tenders ranged 
from $14,000 to $23,000. The client 
said he had given directions that the 
cost of the work was to be $7,000 or 
$8,000. 
The pidge, in giving his decision, said: 
“The duty of an architect generally 
is to anticipate the wants of the owner 
in respect to the building capacity and 
workmanship. He is not a builder. 
The work done by him is to be made 
out with extreme care, so as to prevent 
disputes between the builders and the 
owner. The specifications are so made 
out in this case. I deem it to be more in 
accordance with ordinary business con¬ 
duct to find that the architect did not 
agree to lose his labor if the estimates of 
others were too high. I believe they 
were not too high to meet the structures 
wished for by the defendant and his 
son. 
“The buildings were exactly what was 
wanted by the owner, hut they could 
not he built for $7,000 or $8,000. The 
plaintiff is, therefore, entitled to recover 
3 per cent.” It would be difficult to 
discover a judgment in an English court 
in which it was held that to bring an 
action for the recovery of fees was evi¬ 
dence of business capacity in the archi¬ 
tect which would be advantageous to 
those who commissioned his services.— 
The Architect. 
ROOT PRUNING TREES 
r I 'HE great superiority of trans- 
planted trees over others not so 
treated is so apparent to all familiar with 
the subject that it is now far more com¬ 
mon than it was for nurserymen to pay 
great attention to transplanting. A tree 
prepared in this way can be transplanted 
with almost entire safety. I he cost of 
preparing is so little that it can easily 
be added to the price of the tree, and no 
customer whose trees live will ever find 
fault with the extra price paid. If the 
thought arises that a high price has been 
paid for a tree it is rarely expressed 
when the tree lives and flourishes. 
At this season of the year actual trans¬ 
planting cannot be done to any extent 
but root pruning can; and it is just as 
good, often better. Sometimes when 
trees are but small a thrusting down of a 
spade around them will cut off the ends
