ARCHITECTS MUST MAKE HASTE.
PLANS FOR THE NEW CITY COLLEGE TO BE
READY BY NOVEMBER Is INSTEAD


READY, BY NOVEMBER Is. INSTEAD
OF DECEMBER /.
The architects selected to compete for the design
for the new building Of the College Of the City OF
New-York were surprised on Wednesday to re-
sceive a communication from School Commissioner
Little Of tho Executive Committee having charge
Of the college, requesting that they submit their
drawings as early November 10 instead OF on
December /, as had been previously arranged The
architects invited to take part In this competition
are McKim Mead White: Charles c. Haight.
John r. Thomas. r. II Robertson, George II. Post,
Cyrus L. W. Eidlitz, Cady, Bergman & See and
william b. Tuth. The reason for the change Of
date is that the committee learned from the Con-
roller that no bond Issues would be authorized late
in the year. The plans must be submitted to the
Board of Estimate. with an estimate OF the cost
of erecting the building before the bonds can be
the beginning Of December. unless the matter lies
over until next year. Those members OF the Board
OF Education who are specially interested In pro-
viding a building for the Boys College, as 1t
Is often called. are exceedingly DESTROYS to get
the means Of erecting 1t In hand as early as posi-
ble and expect that the architects viii aid them
to the utmost. even at some Inconvenience 10 the
selves. In view of the consolidation OF the cities
the Board OF Estimate recently requested those de-
partrnents which were planning improvements that
would call for the Issue Of bonds 70 anticipate their
needs to the extent of giving notice TO the Board
OF what they would require by December L
