nese quarters. The number OF men now
working there is far below the average.

month ago it was decided to ask
for plans. There was heated discus
sion as to architectural style and every
conceivable kind of building was
mentioned, but at last the commission
settled upon the old mission type as
bests uited to represent the state.
To secure competition from archi-
tects the commission offered prizes as
follows:
Tho expense Of the whole to be kept us nearly
as possible to $4,000 and under no circum-
stances to exceed $40, 900.
AS this Is onlya temporary building and We
are oesirous OF getting as good and attractive q
building as possible for the amount OF money
expended, 1t should be borne in mind that all
the strength required would be what Is neces-
sary to make the building perfectly safe.
The terms OF this competition as follows:
The maker OF tho plan adopted by this board
will he paid the sum OF sac0 and the further sum
OF sio0 on the approval OF the construction dc
partment OF the Worlds Columbian exposition

specifications and working details he would
then receive the further sum of 2,s per cent. on
the cost Of construction, not exceeding $50, 600,
AS above, less what had already been paid as u
prize.

wishes of the commission as TO style,

CALiiokNiA STATE BUILDING AT THE
WORLDS FAIR.
was thing of beauty, and one entire
day was consumed in the examination
Finally, by unanimous vote, the plan
submitted by A. Page Brown was ac-
cepted.
The accompanying cut gives the hest
idea of what the building will look like.
1t possesses all the necessary features
of an exhibition building, and the COM
mission could find nothing that they
would desire to have altered 1t is Cal
ifornia, and it is picturesque.
The effort of the successful architect
has produced Il building in which the
mission stands out above everything,
but he has thrown in enough of the
more ornate Moorish to take away
whatever of somberness attached to the
old churches. A strict adherence to the
mission would not only have made the
general effect heavy, but adequate light
would not have been afforded. The ac-
cepted plan gives plenty of room, makes
building that is pleasing to the eye.
and furnishes light in abundance.
The ground plan gives one immense
hall for exhibits. The division into
compartments will be made to conform
to the extent of the exhibits. Aisles
and galleries will follow in the same
manner.
The browning feature of the building
is the big dome and the roof garden,
which cover the main entrances. The
garden will stand flush WITH athe roofs
of the wings, and in that it is Intended
to plant California flowers and shrubs
of every variety that can be nurscd
through Chicago season The gar
dens will be the recreation grounds of
the Building
The immense dome furnishes room
for cafe if the commission should de-
sire to have one in the building, or it
may be used for special exhibits, though
the plans contemplate the placing Of
exhibits only on the ground floor.
The towers at the four corners and
fanl1ing the main entrances are de-.
signed after the mission bclfries, and
some of the old bells will be taken on
to be hung there. Each tower is large
enough for exhibits should the floors be
crowded or overtaXcd.
The material of the building will, of
course, be wood. The details of the ini
terror arrangement will be determined
by the commission and the chief of con-
struction.
