The Capitol.

Wednesday evening about 4 O'Clock
the Capitol Commission decided to
award the bid for construction of the
superstructure of the State capitol to
F. H. Goss, of Tacoma. The action
was taken by the adoption Of the fol.
lowing resolution by an unanimous
vote:
Resolred, That the bid OF f. H. Goss, Of
Tacoma, Washington, to construct and
complete the State capitol building, on
the basis below stated, be accepted, and
that the contract be awarded to him upon
such basis; the action of said board and
awarding Of said contract to be condi-
tiOnal upon the negotiation and sale for
cash at par OF the warrants on the State
capitol building fund for the unexpended
balance of the appropriation of March
IL, 1895, to-wit: The principal bid of
1874 ,65l, from which deduct for fourth
alternative bid SCI, 200, leaving the bid
as accepted $S22.95l.
Some minor details relating to the
kind of stone and some other supplies
to be used, have not yet been settled,
but there is not much probability of
serious delay from that cause. 1t
seems quite improbable that either of
our local stone quarries will receive
the order. 1t is said that both are
barred for color-the commission
wanting a very white sandstone.
Mr.. Goss, the contractor, ia we'll
equipped for the work. Besides owning
one OF the largest brickysrds in the
State, he has much of the machinery
necessary for construction of large
buildings. and he has had valuable ex-
perience in that work, some OF the
largestand finest buildings in Tacoma
being the result of HE labor.
