T. ENHANCEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution of
that body, "to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium OF FIVE hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses Of Congress -
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day Of December next
IL is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south OF the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure 10 the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condiuon, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and Judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan be adopted, the com
mittee reserve to themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve 20 them
selves the right to divide apportion, according
TO their own judgment, the amount of premium 10
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit Of each part adopted
