Plans Cover Many Years
The plans as outlined call for a pro-
gram which will cover many years
and provide four big buildings for the
accommodation of the State govern
ment which is now scattered through
out Harrisburg as we'll as a park of
uncommon beauty. 1t will materially
change the existing front of the Capt.
tol by 1attening the Third street ter
race and making a huge plaza while
the east front of the building will be
part of a court containing formal gar
dens, fountains, lawns and rows Of
trees.
Four Buildings in Project
The four buildings projected are two
Office buildings similar to the Capitol
to project eastward from the present
wings but detached and to form sides
of the court and two others separated
by highway with many ornamental
features, the latter two to be one for
offices and the several laboratories and
the other devoted to educational pur-
poses, library, museum, school and col
legiate administration and the various
branches of the Department of Public
Instruction which are now crowded
into small suite. 1t will also con-
tain big auditorium.
No estimates of the ultimate cost
have been made and cannot be as the
program would be for 25 or so
years, although the landscape work Is
to be started at once and the city of
Harrisburg will be asked to inaugur-
