Mr.. Blossom and his assistants arc In
frequent communication with Mr.. Klet-

engineer suggested several changes in

down. Mr.. BLOSSOM told him his grades
did not conform with streets in the
neighborhood. Mr klettins lntimated
that II that were the case the city
might make the streets conform TO the
capitol grounds, The architect desires
10 have artistic surroundings and his
temperament shudders at some OF the
corrections offered by the engineer. He
would not consent To cut Of twenty

Other Alterations.

This Is the maximum cut. At other
points IN the vicinity corresponding re-
ductions or filings VIII be made, the OBJ
Ject being 10 level the ground for the
capitol. This may not be done lmme-
diately. AR Kletting says he made the
suggestion 10 provide Tor the future, that,
however. II IL Is done when excavation

be much less than hereafter. Any dam

thinks. Will also bc less. He will not
admit that the damage mt any time will
he considerable, not enough. he says. TO
cause q ilurry among those Interested.
For succ!nct account only general
Idea OF the changes contemplated Ivy Mr..
l<Ietting can he given here. The oleva =
ton planned for the first floor Of the
building is 1850 feet above sea level. The
ground is very irregular. The elevation
at the northeast corner IS 1919 feet; at
the northwest corner, 1881. The DIM
Stcd brothers suggested that the eleva-
ton at the northeast be changed TO 1891
and at the northwest corner 10 1881
THIS would nccesSitate Il cut of twenty
two feet at Ehc northeast and six feet
n TIC northwest. But the Omsteds
WHO were engaged by the capitol COM
mission, had another plan. This CON
tcnplatcd an clcven-foot cut at the
northeast corner and the filllng in OF
thirteen ieci at the northwest corner.
Property owners say they arc not so IA
Ncrahe toward this that II would make
the northwest corner too high.
