the Capitol Grounds, which has been ac-
cepted and approved by the Board of Capitol
Commissioners, and for which proposals for
construction are to be at once invited. The
fence will consist of a granite coping. with
handsome massive granite piers, hanked by
cast-iron scroll tenders. The coping will be
capped with very handsome rail, formed
with gaspipe and cast-iron scroll work. The
fence, when complete, will be about feet
9 inches in hight, and the piers about IA
feet, which are all of granite. The panels
on the four sides of the piers will be finished
in what is known as quarry dress, with I'M
polished surface The corners will be carved
and richly polished, while the top will be
domed with a pediment on each side,
with raised panels that are also pol

by a unique carved final The
piers will flank each opening and stand as
imposing sentinels TO the various walks and
drives leading to the Capitol There will be
no gates, but simply the openings remaining
between the piers, with small castiron
scroll-fnish extending from point about two
feet upon these to the walk, and having the
appearance of relief support. Notice for
sealed proposals to construct the fence is pub
lished, requiring bids to be presented by July
18th, when the contract will be let and it Is
the purpose Of the Board to have the work
commenced and carried forward as promptly

menced at the west side of Eleventh, on l.
street, and built to Tenth street; thence to

around to Eleventh street, ON the south
side. It is thought that possibly funds at

this work, may be sufficient to build as far as
Indicated, and which will add greatly to the
beauty of the Capitol grounds and bring them
more into harmony with the architecture of
the Capitol building.
