Fifteen plans were received under the provisions of the circular. Your committee has carefully examined these and from them has chosen for premiums those designated as follows: First prize, "His x mark." Second prize, "Night owl." Third prize, "A Z" in a triangle. Fourth prize, Gold seal. The names of the gentlemen who have submitted these designs are still unknown to your committee. We ask t h a t you appropriate $1,100 for the prizes offered by the committee and t h a t you authorize your committee to employ an architect and advertise for bids for the construction of the building. The committee prefers t h a t the letting of the contract for erection be done by the full board. Respectfully submitted, l iT t A R ^ R T o R O A K , c
