the Senate, met here today to consider
the changes In the plans made neces
sary to bring the cost of ths building

building. Is rather peculiar. If the most
expensive " building materials be used.
tha great structure esnnot be built for
the sum of $2,260,000 appropriated for
the purpose. Now, the original plans
provided that the esst section of the
building should be left out. But this
would neceasUste the closing up of the
building In the future, which would
cause -considerable additional expense.
It would be a makeshift, however. Which
would make ft possible to use home
cheaper building stone for the walls tf
the court end thus keep down the ex
penses. The architects will submit a
number .of plans and propositions so
Changing the original plans ss to bring
the cost of the structure within the
