SALEM. Or. March li t Special. One
of the most revolutionary moves ever
made by the State Board relative to the
construction of public buildings 'e
taken today when a determination was
reached to hire a aaWxrled State Archi
tect. W. C. Knighton, of Portland, waa
the aelectlon.
Under the new system the State Archi
tect will receive a salary of 4J"0 a year
and will have charge of all the archi
tectural work. State Architect Knighton
mi Injured several montha ago. when he
fell from a building In Portland end waa

with the active work of the profession.
For some time he has been In Califor
nia. He will devote hla entire time to
the work for the state and It Is under
atood U1 take up hla new office Imme
diately. Big Saving; In View.
According to estlmatea of Slate Treaa-nrv-r
Kay. If the atate should hire an
architect on the old baeas to do the work
of preparing plana and to superviee the
construction of the proposed building for
the Eastern Oregon Branch Insane Hos
pital, at Pendleton, the services for thst
work would cost the atate KD.0OX If the
architect had to prepare only the plane
the cost would be 112.000.
In consenuence the board aeea an op
portunity for an enormous saving In this
one item alone, astde from the build
ings that are to be constructed at the
State School for the Feeble-Minded, the
Reform S-hool. the Ptate fpltol addition
and other public work of this nature.

Inasmuch as a contract hae already
been entered Into with a firm of Port

state work will be In 'the hands of Mr.

work tn view to be done daring the next
two yeana. that a saving of practically
