Not Satisfactory to Utah

TROUBLE OVER ADVISER

The resignation of Charles s. Nc
citation of Architects was rendered and
accepted at a meeting of tho organjza-
ton, held last night iu private dining
room of the Louvre cafe, for the pur.
pose of discussing the competition pro.
gramme recently adopted by the capitol
commission for the selection Of an archi-
tect and plans for the erection OF
Utah 3 capitol structure. Mr.. Melon
aid asserted that his resignation was
made necessary by pressure of busl.
ness in other lines. The vacancy will
be filed, announcement thereof TO bc
made later
Although the session of the associa-
ton was held in private, no official an
nouucement being given out, it was ad-
mitted by one of those present that
severe criticism of the capitol commits
sion over its method IN arranging the
competition programme formed the
principal topic for discussion.
According TO the information re-
ceived. the capitol commission had
agreed to follow the plan used by the
board of education in drawing up the
programme Of competition for the high

pally, IT is said that in arranging the
capitol building competition pro-

acted in cooperation with a prominent
outside architect as adviser. The in
formant declared that the commission s
failure to do so had resulted in such
an unsatisfactory arrangement Of the
competition programme that entries
would bee limited TO Utah architects,
who cared 10 enter the race and few
outside firms, who, although attracted
by such a prospective job, would be
unable to do full Justice TO the dc
mands of the proposition.
Just what action was taken by ihe
architects association last night in re-
gard to the situation ,s not known, as
1t could not be learned from those who
attended Just what the drift of the de.
liberations resulted in. The members
or the capitol commission. however. do
not agree with the impressions given
out by one OF last night 5 participants.
and holds that the competition pro-
grammc will make it possible to select
the best procurabIe architect and de-
eide upon plans that will result in a
capitol building of which the state and
its people viii be justly proud
An unsubstantiatcd report has be
come current to the effect that two of
the leading firms among the six outside
concerns invited to compete with Utah
architects have decided to withdraw
from the race.
