Montgomery March 5.-fSpecial)-At a
meeting of the new capitol commission
held in the office of the governor today
it was decided to proceed at once to the
erection of three-story addition to the
present building on the south end of
the lot with a handsome front on the
south, as well as architectural symmetry
in connection with the older structure.
It is expected that work will be ready
to begin by the first of April at the
latest At meeting TO be held next
Monday the working plans will be sub
mitted and adopted and the contract let
Immediately afterwards.
The commission met in the office of
the governor at noon with the governor,
Secretary Of State e. r. McDavid Treas
urer J. Craig Smith, Auditor J. NJ. Car
michael Attorney General Massey Will
son and Secretary Thomas NJ Owen,
present. The principal business was the
hearing of a report from a special conf
mittee named some days ago to confer
with the official architect, Frank Lock-
wood and submit plan for the additions
to be erected at the south OF the present
structure. This committee was composed
of the governor, Mr.. AIcDavid and Mr.
Smith. They came with a plan contem-
plating a three-story structure to be
INTELLECTUALLY combined with the old
building by means Of the north and south
hall. They We're approved and the archi-
teet was instructed to report plans at
the meeting to be held Monday of next
week, with view of at once having adj
vertisements inserted for bids, which
ought to be in by the end of two weeks.
In Line With Original Idea.
This three-story plan will be in line
with the original ideas of the commits
sion. 1t will have the same general lines
as the old one and the Identical style
and heighth of windows so that there
will be harmony. 1t will be connected
with the old building at the cross hall,
running up to tile offices of the treas
urer and auditor, save for the intervening
space which will be roonly enough for a
portico on one side and stairway on
the other. There has been no assignment
of rooms and the interior details are yet
to be worked out The cost is not to be
over $4,000
The plans reported Monday next will
be working specifications and contemplate
the letting OF the contract at once.
The commission did not take any ac-
ton as to the $4,000 to be expended on
the interior of the old building. not hav-
ing anything to say as to what rooms
should be occupied by the supreme court.
This will be worked out later it is under
stood II is thought, however, that the
plan is to take care of the court in the
rooms now occupied and such others as
are NEEDED. giving all that will be needed
in the way of accommodate
BY the conditions of the bids submitted
sometime ago the architect receiving first
prize was to be the official architect and
have charge of the building Of what
ever other structures were put up. Frank
Lockwood having been the wnf@r of the
first prize he Is the man who Will have
control At the same time It was also
stipulated that the commission might
order him to make such changes from
time to time as he saw fit, and this pro-
vision is being taken care of now. in
that he will work from three-story plans
rather than those Of two-stories as adopt
ed by the full commission some time
ago.
