WORKING PLANS ORDERED 60. -.
FOR ENGINEER BUILDING.
Contract Cannot be let Until After
New Fiscal Year

College Station, Tex, July 13.-At a
meeting of the building committee of
the board of directors, held at College
Station this week, attended by direc-
tors Mclnnis. Peteet and Green. the
preliminary design of Supervising Ar
chitect Geisecke for an engineering
building was accepted. The commit
tee instructed Prof Geisecke to al
once prepare working drawings and
specifications so as 10 enable the
board to advertise for bids for con
struction as soon as possible. The
contract cannot be let until after Sep
TENDER LIST. The details of construc-
ton and arrangement of the building
have been agreed on after conference
with President Harrington, Prof.
Maggie and Prof. Brown. When COM
pleted and equipped the structure will
cost S65,000 the amount appropriated
for this purpose by the Thirtieth Leg
islature. AS design il will con
tain three stories and a basement
The first story will contain the de-
partment of electrical engineering,
the second story the department OF
civil engineering, and the third story
the department of architectural en-
gineering, Ultimately, when the col
lege has grown In numbers. only one
of these departments will be housed
in this building.
The design offered by Prot. Gel
secke is simple, massive and stately
and seems to be a good type to settle
upon for future college buildings.
Its precise location has as yet not
been determined by the directors.
Plans for a new dormitory, TO cost
S17,5 to be located at the Prairie
View Normal were some time ago
adopted by the board of directors.
The complete building will contain
thirty-five rooms, including an entire
floor of class rooms that make up the
first floor. The basement will contain
sanitary closets to be connected with
the sewer system now being installed
under the supervision of Prof j. c.
Nagle. The plans of Pro- Geisecke
convert two and a half story build
ing into one of three stories.
Among the numerous Improvements
to be begun at College Station this
summer are a $4,000 cottage, located
between Prof Kyles residence and
the depot, two laborers' cottages and
a new silo. Not less than so tons of
silage will be put in for the winter
feed of the large dairy herd.-Galves-
