oUoeENHEIM AND HUGHES CON-
FER WITH ARcHITEcTs-MAY
APPEAL TO CONGRESS.
MAY MODIFY THE PLANS
AT LEAST COLORADO MARBLE
WILL BE USED IN THE SUPER
STRUCTURE OF BUILDING.

Washington, March ga confer
uation in reference to the proposed
federal building for Denver, for which
bids were opened week ago. The
conference was attended by Supervis-
ing Architect j. Knox Taylor. Senators
Guggenheim and Hughes of Colorado
and the architects who made the plans
and specifications for the building.
Tracey, Swarthout & Litchfield.
Both senators strongly urged the gu
pervising architect to accept bid pro-
viding for the use Of Colorado white
marble in the superstructure of the
building, and in this they were sup
ported by the architects.
The supervising architect expressed
willingness to comply with the request
of the senators, provided such modlf1-
cations could be made in the plans as
would permit the building to be COM
pleted within the cost limitation pro-
vided by the law authorizing the con-
struction of the building, or, if the
plans could not be modified, that legis-
lation be secured extending the cost
limit to provide for the additional
amount required for the use of Colo
rado marble.
1t was up to the architects, he said,
to modify the plans, or to the senators
to secure legislation.
AS a result of the conference the
architects will go over the plans care
fully, especially for the interior finish,
lighting and heating apparatus and the
various forms of ornamentation, with
the view to modifying the estimated
cost so as to bring it within the limits
of the amount authorized for the con-
struction and completion of the build
ing.
If this cannot be done, the Colorado
senators will endeavor to have the
cost limit extended during the present
session of Congress. although they
realize that this will be difficult un
dertaking.
1t is Senator Guggenheim's opinion
that the department, after the scaling
in cost of details which the architects
will make, will authorize the use of
Colorado white marble. Senator
Hughes said after the conference: r
''In all probability marble will be
used in the construction of the build
ing. / am inclined to believe the archi-
tects will be able to reduce the esti-
mates for interior finish, ornamental
ton, etc, so that the building may be
constructed of Colorado white marble
and still keep within the limit of cost
fixed by the law" a-. -.
