cure start for the spire bases. When COM
pleted the north tower will be about $50
feet high while the south tower will rise
only to hight of 127 feet.
The iron frame work of the spires will
be covered with copper all the way up.
and all architectural features and orna-
ments above the bases of the spires will
be of the same material The weather
Vane and tops of the finals will be gilded.
Both spires will be accessible from the
inside of the towers, where step ladders
will lead to their bases. Inside of the
spires there will be ladders of iron, which
lead to the top as far as there is room
for any one to go.
All the outside walls of the edifice viii
be succeed and lined off in ashlar man
ner, so when finished the outside of the
building will appear similar to the cathe-
dral.
All the woodwork about the outside is
to be painted and put in proper condition,
new cutters and rainwater leaders will be
put in place and everything not now In
first-class order will be overhauled ana
repaired.
1t is also contemplated to provide new
sidewalks all around the building and to
manner to the very edge of the curb stone.
The amount to be expended for all the
work including some improvements of the
inside and perhaps of the main entrance,
will be in the neighborhood of $4,000 and
when all is completed the church will
be an ornament not only for the square on
