First Unit of New Capitol to Be Completed by August
Nebraska's new state capitol as it looks today. Note the great main entrance. An idea of its height may
be gained by comparing it with the tower of the old building and the opening In the new building through
which the material from the old building will be removed.
By H. H. PETERS.
Staff Co. respondent Th* Omaha Ree.
LineolA, Feb. 9.—The first unit of
Nebraska's new capitol, being con
structed in three units, is nearing
completion. The stonework is prac
tically finished and inside the struc
ture, whose windows are covered with
oiled muslin, workmen are plastering.
The partitions are all up in the
north wing, partition* of hollow tile
on which wire mesh and plaster is
laid, while in the south section par
titioning will he finished In a few
days. A number of rooms in the
north wing have been plastered and
floors are down in some of them.
In the governor’s rooms workmen
are busy with molds preparing the
special wall finish.
Heat is maintained at 60 degrees
by a plant distinct from thut heating
the old building and Commissioner
of Lands and Buidlings Swanson an
nounced recently that half a car of
coal was required daily on cold days
to maintain the necessary tempera
ture.
Although it is anticipated that the
unit will he completed by August it
is not yef known whether it will he
immediately occupied The legislature
must use the old building and the
use of the two buildings would re
quire more than twice as much coal
than if the old building was used
exclusively until the conclusion of the
session.
Further, there is no appropriation
for furnishing the new unit and the
advisability of moving the furniture
now in use into it Is questionable.
Now that the unit has reached a
point where some idea of the even
tual appearance of the building may
he gained, it is noted that there‘-is
a marked similarity between it and
plans for new skyscrapers to tie
built In New' York City under the
new zoning act. I,Ike the capitol,

they will rise in more or less step
fashion to their eventual height.
Despite the muslin-covered windows
the completed rooms In the unit are
remarkably light, though there is
not a light well or skylight In the
building. And while there Is noth

the balding, at the same time the
plan IS such that every foot pt floor
space will be utilized.
It is expected that work on the
second unit, which includes razing
the old building, will be started irnme
