CHANGES IN PLANS.
Increase in Area Of Excavation at Of
fee Building Site.

Owing to changes in the plans for the
new office building of the House Of Repre-
sentatives which have just been made.
10000 cubic yards of earth will be ex-
cavated instead Of $4,000. as was originally
intended, and this will necessitate the oper-
alton of the "dnkey" railroad across the
east plaza Of the Capitol until some time
after Congress convenes. unless some other
method of hauling the dirt to the union
station plaza should be adopted. The
change in the plans for the new office
building consist in digging the basement
six feet deeper.
By the additional excavation and the
dumping of the earth on the union station
plaza site the District will save 5000 on
filling for the plaza.
