To Prepare Final Working
Drawings.

Resolution, Recommended for Pas
sage, Empowers Committee to
Select Advisory Architect to Pro-
tect City's Interests.

BY a unanimous vote the special
building last night recommended to
the Council for adoption a resolution
approving the winning design sub
mitted by Carneal & Johnston as the
one TO be followed in the construction
of the proposed building. and appro-
pria ting $500 for the preparation of
working plans from the general design
In adopting this resolution and
recommending ii for passage the COM
mittee placed itself clearly on record
in favor of carrying the municipal
building movement forward without
hitch. If the appropriation is secured.
the way will he clear for an unintcr-
rupted development Of the entire build
ing project. The granting of the ap-
preparation. by the same token, will
practically bind the Council to back the
plan through to completion. providing
the funds from time to time as needed.
APPROPRIATIONS WILL BE
DEDUCTED FROM FEE
Tho $500 called for by the resolu-
ton represents per cent Of the s Der
cent fee which the city will be obliged
to pay the architects in the event the
DuiluihS Is authorized. This is based
on the estimate that the completed
building will cost In the neighborhood
of SS50.000. The amount of the appro
priation will be deducted from the
gross fee. and Will. therefore, mean no
extra expense to the city beyond the
expenditure to which it is bound by the
