available, Mr.. Hall, announced. The
changes were so made that the elimi-
mated materials may be supplied
through appropriations by coming Leg
islature to make the wings uniform
with the main unit. NJ
"The reduction in cost has not been
obtained by reduction in quality, but
by elimination of features that can be
added later" said Mr.. Hall.
$4,000 FOR FURNISHINGS.
James Stewart G. Co. put In an or
iginal bid of 1855, 900. The Legislature
100000 for the wings, but
this included furnishings, which it is
estimated will cost $4,000. Excava-
ton work and foundations already in
stalled have cost $4,000. Deducting
these amounts only 100000 was left
of the appropriation for general con-
Mr.. Hall explained
In addition to the sum that will be
it will cost about $4,000 to
clean up the grounds and areaways
after the work is completed. Mr.. Hall
estimated.
LEAVE OUT MARBLE.
One of the main Examinations was
the use of marbles on the pilasters.
Wood will be used instead, but it will
be so put on that when coming legis-
latures make sufficient appropriations
the wood may be replaced by mar
BILE AN operation as easy as hanging
pictures" Mr.. Hall said.
Instead of the artificial marble,
"Scagliola," such as was used in the
columns in the main unit, plain hard
white plaster will be used in the COL
umns in the wings. The "Scagliola,"
may be APPLIED later over the plas-
ter.
The capitals and the bases of the pi-
lasters will be marble.
OMIT BOILER ALSO.
By the use of plaster and wood in
stead of marble, 100000 was cut from
the cost, 1t Is estimated. A boiler
called for in the plans was also omit
ted, reducing the cost $4,000. The
present heating plant will be suffi-
cient for the time being, Mr. Hall said.
In addition to these Examinations, a
of minor changes were made
for the purpose Of reducing the cost.
The original cost, as presented to
the Legislature, was estimated at ST.
1850 for the two wings. The legis-
lature reduced the appropriation, how
ever, to 5000, 1000.
we have been compelled to elimi-
nate just about the same amount that
the legislature cut off from the appro-
priation that was asked" said Mr..
Hall.
