Addition of a "smoke tower'
to handle escaping smoke or
gases from the building in case
of fire is a requirement under
the building codes and it was
indicated did not cause too much
alteration in appearance and
will also serve as a fire escape.
While it was pointed out the
building itself will be virtually
fireproof, fire danger lies in ac
cumulations of paper and fur
niture in a building used for
such purposes as the courthouse
and protection of employes and
patrons from such possibility is
essential.
The plans Indicate a porch at
the west entrance facing high
street which will be adorned
with marbled columns, the first
floor being set back about 18
feet under the upper stories.
There will be a clock on the
High street side at about the
third floor. Also on that side a
balcony will be provided for ap
pearance sake and also as a ros
trum for speakers at various
ceremonies. A flagpole will be
another feature.
Exterior portion of the struc
ture will be faced with white
marble and in a general way
will conform to other buildings
in the civic and Capitol groups.
There are still some minor
exterior changes to be made
which will be ironed out by the
heads of the departments ef
fected to make their work sim
pler and more compact.
Abilene, Kans., famed as the
frontier head of the old Chis
holm cattle trail, was given its
Biblical name, meaning "grassy
plain," by a devout woman set
