TO SPEND 100000
ON new BUILDING
CAPITOL COMMISSION PLANS
THREE-STORY STRUCTURE FOR
STATE OFFICES. M

Construction of three-story Office
building at a cost of 100000, to be
completed before the next session OF
the legislature, probably will be
authorized by the capital building
commission at a meeting next Mon
day when final decision is to bemade.
The proposal was discussed at a meet
ing of the commission Tuesday and
was generally favored.
The new building, which is to be
modern in every way, is to be erect
ed on the old foundations across the
street from the Temple of Justice. on
the new capitol site. The only
change in the foundation win be to
place the entrance on the north side
instead of the south. @3
Save $4,000 Month Rent.
Figures to show that the compile
ton of this building would save the
state $4,000 q month ID rent for
offices maintained in other cities. by
bringing these departments to Olym-
pia, were presented to the commits
sion by Governor Lister, who strongly
urged the construction Of the build
ing. According to present plans, the
building will be used by the elective
state officers, will enable each de-
partment to have connecting suites
and will also provide vault room and
storage space that is very badly
needed for state records.
If the commission orders the con-
struction. as expected, the next leg
islature will have plenty of room for
its members and committees, which
has not been the case in the past. The
building will be one of the units Of
the new capitol group and will be
built under the proceeds OF the half
mill levy authorized by the last Leg
islature.
Million Dollars Available.
This tax will bring revenue Of
$1,0O0,00O during the current bien-
mum. OF this amount $350.O00 will
be spent in completing the Temple Of
Justice according to plans now being
prepared by Wilder & White Of New
York at the direction Of the commits
sion; $4,000 has been spent for the
high school property and the Reed
Lord block to provide new entrance
to the capitol grounds, and 100000
Is set aside for the new ONCE build
ing, so that the revenue to be received
during the biennium will pay for all
the work outlined and leave plenty
of money with which to do the neces-
sary grading and other Improvements
of the ground.
Julius Zittel of Spokane. consulting
architect for the commission, will
meet with it next Monday and go
over plans for the new Office building.
1t is proposed to have the plans for
the structure adopted under the COM
petitive plan, limited entirely to arch
