to rre t the building as contemplated, and
It tie ame necessary to modify the plan

i the leaving off of ihe cupola. This was
provided for In the original plan, hut that
which le represented by tiie cut leaves
off the cupola. It was estimated that It
would cos: something like fS.OOO extra to
put on the cupola Th* money was aot
at hand, to It was decided to curtail th*

the school was to have been mounted
there.
