Jefferson City.-The Missouri state
capitol commission selected Evarts
Tracy ard Egertson Swartwout OF the
firm Of Tracy & Swartwout, New
York, as the architects of the new
state capitol. The design submitted
by this firm won easily in the compe-
tition.
The building as designed by Tracy
& Swartwout is estimated to cost,
without the interior decorations, ST.
230,127. 1t will be 420 feet in length,
220 feet wide, with a dome rising 2S2
feet above the level of the terrace.
The dome will be one of the distinct
i've features of the new structure. A
person standing in the vestfbule can
see tt the top of it, much the same
as that of the old court house in St.
Louis.
The capitol will have a subbase-
ment, a basement entirely above
ground, and first, second and third
floors. This will make the structure
practically four stories in height. The
main entrance will be upon the south
side. The building will stand square
ly across Main street, this being the
thoroughfare leading to the capitol,
giving a space of 300 feet between
the south entrance and the supreme
court building, and a like distance be-
tween the rear and the Missouri Pa
cifc tracks.
To Sit on Fourteen-Foot Terrace.
The structure will be sufficiently
commodious upon it's four floors to
house every department of state gov
eminent, including all appointive Of
fees now accommodated in offices
elsewhere. The e a Of the new build,
ing will just touch the front of the
old structure, thus removing the new
capitol from the smoke and noise of
the railroad.
A feature Of the plan which may be
adopted if desired. but at extra cost,
is a concrete covering over the rail
road tracks and running down with
steps to the rivers edge. This was a
feature not called for, and one which
will not be undertaken now The
architects saw the feasibility of Gov
ering the railroad tracks and drew a
design which would greatly enhance
the beauty of the capitol building. II
is estimated this would not cost to
exceed $500, 900, and is a problem fol-
future legislatures.
The capitol will sit upon a 14-foot
terrace, which will be 2 feet higher.
approximately, than the grade OF
High street. This will make the walks
leading to the capitol a long ascent
The earth for this terrace will be
brought down from High street and
the grounds filed in.
May Carry Street Under Capitol.
If desirable, Main street will be car
ried under the building to permit the
easy handling Of bulky paper and sup
plies for the state officers and legis
lature. Gov. Hadley expressed his
disapprovai of this proposition, but il
will yet be taken up before the board
of permanent seat of government and
it's advantages explained. If not de
sired by the board, that feature o.
the plan will be abandoned. MAR
street will be carried as a driveway
back Of the building and along the
