SUPERVISING ARCHITECT
Reports on Cost of New State House and
Plans Are To Be Altered.
At a recent meeting of the state
capitol commission the report of
Examining Architect Day was read.
Mr. Day was appointed in accord
ance with an act of the legislature
to examine the plans of Architect
Mann and report whether the work
in accordance with the same could
be completed for $1,000,000. He
places the following estimate on the
cost of the structure.
Granite work.$ 103,720
Exterior stone work and
trying. 374,720
Granitoid paving. 7,281
Plumbing. 19*320
Carpenters and mill work 55,670
Modeling. 5,285
Interior marble work_ 107,867
Plastering. 48,752
Fire proofing. 78,000
Metal skylights and roof 62,120
Painting and glazing .. 29,230
Excavation, concrete and
brick work -jnclding
work already done .... 134,640
Structural steel. 119,500
Cast metal. 148,000
Mardware. 5,385
• Mechanical plant. 108,900
Scagliola. 20,000
Total.$1,425,464
“To the above estimate must be
added 5 per cent as profit for the
general contractor and as a margin
to protect him against loss by ac
cidents, miscalculations, errors of
setting out the works, etc., making in
all a total estimate of $1,496,737.
“In the above estimate nothing
has been included but the building
proper, the question of whether the
approaches and terraces are pr are
not a part of the building being a
matter that your board can readily
decide. The cost of completing
these terraces and approaches I es
timate at $70,627.
The report is quite lengthy, but
the most important features fol
low :
“In my opinion the building if
properly redesigned, need not cost
over one million dollars and yet
could be placed upon the present
foundations, but a better result from
that expenditure can be had if the
building occupies a smaller area, in
which case by skillful planning,
much of the existing work might be
utilized. In other words, you can
cut in quality of work or in size
of building, but I advise a smaller
building of high quality, yet large
enough for the needs of the state,
rather than one of great size and
inferior quality. Unless compelled
by the law your commission should
not insist on utilizing all the ex
isting work since a better result can
be had by adapting the present
foundations to a building planned
with the economies of space advised
in mv report
“The general plan adopted is a
well known and approved type for
state eapitols. It consists of a great
rotunda for the circulation of the
public, centrally placed, and ex
presed on the exterior by means of
a dome of sufficient importance to
dominate the entire mass and wing
buildings connecting the central
mass with the end masses in which
the upper and lower legis
lative chambers, each expressed
on the exterior by a dome low enough
not to conflict with the central
feature. The plan in general in my
opinion is well suited to the needs
of a state of increasing natural
prosperity and advancing intellec
tual standard. Broadly speaking
then the state may be said to have
secured a design worthy of erection
and distinctly superior to that of the
average state capitol.”
“It is obvious from section 10 of
the act that it will be the duty of Mr.
Mann to remodel the drawings so
that a building can be constructed
in accordance with them at a cost
not to exceed $1,000,000.”
The board referred the plans back
to Architect Mann with instructions
to modify the same so as to bring
the cost of the structure within tha
million dollar limit.
Purslane An a Forage Plant.
Koine experiments have recently
been made with purslane, or “purs*
ley" as it is comonly called, as a feed
for hogs and cattle, and in each case
the experimenters attribute to it con
siderable value is a forage plant. This
old weed grows abundantly and per
sistently and is as nearly drought
proof, probably, as any plant in the
world. In extirpating it simply cut
ting it up merely checks its growth—
nothing more. We have this year had
it cut up and each plant carefully
turned bottom side up only to find
that in one week it had again taken
root in ground as hot as a bake oven
and as dry as dust from an asphalt
pavement. Evidently it can be grown
without soil moisture. It is tin excel
lent green feed for poultry.—Farm

RestoriiiK the Great liiiNtnnl.
Everyone will wish success to Lord
Walsitigliam in his attempt to restore
that magnificent bird, the great bus
one
tard, to its ancient English home in
Norfolk and Suffolk. At present the
bustard is only a winter wanderer to
Britain, but there was a time when it
haunted 11 English shires and was
known also in the Merse of Berwick
shire and the open area of the I.otlii
ans. In Norfolk, where the bird ap
pears to have lingered longest, the
last two examples were killed in IHiJS,
but 1 saw the Iasi of it in Suffolk.
Sixteen birds have now been put down
on the borders of Norfolk and Suf
folk, and (here is no particular rea
son why they should not multiply and
flourish, just as 1 he capercailzie has in
Scotland.- -London Chronicle.
The average duration of marriages
in England is 28 years. Russia, with
30 years, is the only country to beat
her. In France and Germany 26 3 ears
is the average dural ion.
Between the years 1760 and 1776.100,
000 pounds of silk were exported from.
Georgia to England.
