ADD BUILDING TO
CAPITOL GROUP?
PRESENT LEGISLATURE TO BE
ASKED TO START IMPROVE
mENT AT SPRINGFIELD.

Springfield, H.. March 3.-That the
present general assembly VIII make
provision for a new state building TO
be added TO the group ut Springfield
is practically certain. \ plan. not only
for the new building. but also for the
further needs OF the state in the fu-
ture. is now being worked out and
will be placed in the hands of the law
makers within the next few weeks
A special committee, representing
several state commissions that are in
terested in the project has the matter
of capitol grounds and buildings under
consideration. The committee includes
Lewis G. Stevenson. secretary OF state
and a member of the state building
commission: State Senator Kent +.
Keller of the Illinois centennial COM
mission: former State Senator H 5.
Magin. Jr. and Architect Martin Ro-
cho OF the state art commission, and
DR.. Otto L. Schmidt OF Chicago. presi-
dent OF the State Historical society.
The commissions named have adopt
ed n plan which contemplates the
states acquiring a large tract OF land
adjoining the present capitol grounds
on the south. and the landscaping OF
the same into a park-like setting for
additional state buildings as the devel-
opment OF the state will require from
time to time. II Is hoped TO have the
first of these buildings ready TO dedi-
cate during the Illinois centennial eel
ebration in 1918.
II IS urged that by securing the land
now. while II is occupied by a few I'M
pretentiOus dwellings,. great economy
can be practiced in behalf OF the state.
as the value of the property IN ques-
ton is considered absolutely certain
10 increase rapidly. even If no consid-
sideration Is given 10 the likelihood OF
there being erected on the tract more
buildings that would have to be con-
demned and paid for in event the
state waited until a later date TO pur-
chase.
