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 or

accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to bs
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next.
Ii is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol
either by additional wings, to be placed on tn,
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection Of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure TO the east of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise OF

symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM

ground between the hasy, dsjoned, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
