Jay Gould's tomb is to cost $S5, 200, 'and
will have room for sixteen persons. In
design this ''mortuary chapel" rs the
builders are proud to call it, is a minia-
tire Greek Temple OF polished granite.
1t is to be twenty feet wide, thirty feet
long and lanked with columns, eight on
each side and four on the ends. No
stone used in the construction is to be
less thar six feet square in size, and the
roof stones are to be six feet wide by tif-
teen feet long, weighing several tons
apiece. The doors Of the chapel are to
be of bronze modelled by Augustus st.
Gaudens, whose bill for this service is to
he 81, 500. Inside the original plan was
to close each of the sixteen tompart-
ments with a slab Of polished marble to
be cemented in place. The latest inten-
ton, however, is to finish the inside of
the chapel in bronze as being more dur
able than marble. Facing the door OF
the chapel is to be q window of stained
glass, probably by Lafarge, representing
the resurrection. E
