Chance for Outside Architects.
The supervising architect of the treasury
has decided to construct the new public
building at Deadwood, s. D., upon plans
drawn by private architects under the
competitive system as provided Cor in the
so-called Tarsncy act. That is, architects
will be invited to make drawings for the
new structure and the one who is success
full will have the superintendency of con-
struction in addition to securing a certain
per cent usually given the successful COM
petitor.
The method Of procedure under the Tars-
ney act has not yet been thoroughly tried
with buildings of the type contemplated at
Deadwood, but It is hoped that architects
will be glad to enter the competition and
results beneficial to the service be OBJ
tanned by securing plans drawn by archi-
tects outside the government service. Ar
chitect Taylor has invited the architects
OF Omaha, St Paul and DeadwoOd to COM
