pursuance of the act, held their first meet
ing May rs, 1870. One of their firstsand
most important duties was to avail them
selves of the Information requisite for the
adoption Of a suitable plan for the build
ing. After visiting and examining several
of the buildings of other States, erected
for similar purposes, and q careful in
spection and comparison Of the plans
submitted, they were enabled to adopt
one which, it is believed, combines, in an
eminent degree, the elements of conve.
nience, taste and beauty, requisite in an
edifice Of that character, and yet the cost
of which shall not exceed the maximum
amount fixed by the law, to-wit: million
and half of dollars. In the adoption of
this plan, tho Commissioners awaited
themselves of the advice of Edward Clark,
Esq architect of the national capitol, a
person of eminent ability. Mcssrs. Coch-
ranc s. Piquenard, of Illinois, were select.
as the architects to prepare the drawings
in detail of the plan as adopted, and to
supervise the construction of the building.
The next importand duty, and one in.
vOlving the greatest responsibility, was
the choice of suitable material for the
foundation. Steps were taken to obtain
reliable information of the capacity, as
well as the quality Of the product, Of all
the principal stone qnarries in.thc State.
To this end, most of the quarries were
visited by committees, and samples from
over thirty Of them were caused to be
submitted to practical and scientific tests
Although these investigations established
the fact that our State is supplied with
an abundance of building material of
good quality, yet 1t was soon ascertained
that only few, quarries were sufficiently
developed to supply at once, and as fast as
needed, the quantity of stone required for
such work. From the large number of
competing quarries in the State, the duty
of making . judicious choice, was soon
found to be . task Of great difiiculty. I
can truly say that believe It has been
the earnest desire of the Commissioners to
economize the funds placed 1t their dis
posal, and ct the same time,tO avail them.
selves of the best material for work to be
found in the State. The facts developed,
and the information ELECTED, win doubt
