Siegmund Named Head
Architect Interviews
Task Is Assigned
1 J f
Decision to employ an architect
by contract rather than to hold
an architectural competition for
the construction of a new court
house was made last night at the
organization meeting of the build
ing committee held at the organiz
ation meeting of the building eom-
m it tee held in the county court
chambers
Judge J. C. Siegmund was elect
ed chairman of the group and
Connell Ward, deputy county
clerk, was selected as secretary.
Cuyler Van Patten, Leroy Hew
lett and John Ramage were ap
pointed as a committee to inter
view architects and report at a
meeting to be held January 7. No
qualifications were adopted by the
committee but it was indicated that
certain prequalifications would be
necessary and that whoever was
awarded the work should name a
Salem architect of his own choos
ing as local representative.
Need for Haste "
Is Cited
The decision to select an archi
tect to work under the building
committee was .made, committee
members explained,' because of the
need of haste In preparing prelim
inary sketches and estimates in
order to submit an application to
the PWA-in an effort to have funds
earmarked for the project. They
also pointed out that in case a
special election is called for tLe
: coming year such plans would
have to well advanced in order to
submit the matter to the voters of
the county for approval.
T It was estimated that competi
tive prize competition would cost
at least $3560 more for the award
ing of runner-up money and hire
jof Judges in making the final
.award.
-4 f The fact that the building
committee would have nothing to
say about the design or nature
of the building also displeased
the committee members.
Desire Design
Matching Capitol
Commissioner Melson and Van
Patten both expressed the belief
that the building should be of
a design' and construction that
would harmonize with the new
statehouse and federal building.
H Other members agreed.
--. Though no definite amount to
spend on the building was de
cided, the group discussed $450,
000 as the probably total cost of
the project. This amount would

The government's "moral embar
go" against shipments of war im
plements to Spain was cracked to
night for the first time since the
revolution there began.
Munitions control board offi
cials of the state department an
nounced they had yielded reluc

sued licenses permitting'him to ex

sion of the neutrality act which
compels it to issue export licenses
when shipments do not violate ex

Hoping that this "moral embar

broken, sources close to the ad
ministration Indicated that the
problem would be laid before con
