change in the plans and the material
would be that which was originally de-
''i hiiHSt uB'p dhi'' anu
softer stone for the main portion of
the exterior work
Plans for four Of the other build
ings have been brought as near compile
tion as possible, Asked if they had
been entirely completed, Mr.. Cobb re-
Piled
