Commissioner Thompson presented n COM
municatton from MIR. Randall Oh his p}an.
Tho Chair did not think 1t should bo read
Aid, Bailey moved to poatpono tho reading,
Which waB agreed to.
Commissioner Galloway anid he had ofrored
como resolutions at II preceding meeting, aud
moved that thoy bo takon up, ae thoro had boon
Aome criticism upon tloul.
oENTRAL DONE.
Tho resolutions being road, Commissioner
Galloway said 1t Ind bcon nyorred that central
dome could not bo observed from streot. but
as tho city was built upon n plain, 1t was dcsir-
abio that point Of lookout, such as tho dome
would DO, should bo constructed. It had.

would 10 visible. In approaching tho building
from oight directions tho whole of tho domo
above 4 height to feot higher than tho main
building could be distinctly aeon: Again, l,o
thought equal dignity should DO given to each
ontrsncc: Tho third resolution requiring sim;
po dignity to elaboration Of outline, l1o wonld
foayo to tho Committee. The fourth requisite,
light and air,--]lo would insist upon.
Aid. Bailey would like to hear from tho Mayor.

Galloway woro ingenious, but no feared thn:th
Whon Tho projections Of tho cornico md tho
