CAPITOL FEES STAGGERING.
Architect Demands $4,000 for De.
sign He Submits.

Jefferson City.-The Missouri capt.
toll commission met to consider fur
there it's architectural program pre-
pared by the advisory architect, L.
Baylor Pendleton. Members of the
commission said the program would
be announced
Some discoveries have been made
not altogether satisfactory to the
commission. For instance, 1t has
learned that an architect demands for
his fee an amount equal to 6 per cent
Of the entire cost of the building. The
new state house is to cost $3,000,0 900,
which would yield to the architect
who furnishes the design, provided
the commission falls for the arrange
ment, a sum amounting to $4,000.
This is a fee larger than the commits
sion cares to pay and there will be a
stipulation for a smaller percentage
put into the program for competition,
