An inexpensive plan is desired The plans and spec ifications. elevations, proportions and di- visions of fioorage into rooms and halls will be left to the suggestion of archi- tects. The plans and specifications are to be a contribution. the only compensa- tion given for this service being that the names of the author of the selected plans will be placed in a conspicuous place or places on the wall of the build- ing, and in addition thereto he will be employed to supervise the construction of the building at Alabama rates for the same All plans and specifications are to be forwarded to Director w. N. Ma lone. of Birmingham. who will submit them to the board of directors.
