CAflTOL PLANS
ERING REBUKES
''Anonymous Criticisms" De
plored by Omaha Architect
Tels Why Tower Should
Reolace Usual Dome.
Pussyfoot" and Sisters
Who Plan to Kidnap Him
"Anommous criticiw" of plans
for the new state capitol building
dtawn bj Bertram Grosvenor Good
hue, Xer York architect, were la
beled yeacrday as "unjust" and "nn
spcrtsmailike" by Thomns K. Kim
ball, Orruha architect, who was pro
fessional advisor on the selection of
p!?ns.
The criticism referred to bv Mr.
Kimball emphasizes that all state
cr.pitol luildings in this country
hrve beei built with domrs.
"Wherefore a Dome?"
"The cbme is perhaps the most
expensiveand most useless thing any
capitol culd have," Mr. Kimbail
said. "Tie tower idea is new, but
its advantages are manifold.
"In th ktst place, 't can be
equipped I with express elevators
which wil save visitors a climb up
winding itairs found in :itost capi
tol buildings. I believe the top of
the Nebraska capitol building should
be made iccessible to these visitors.
"Moreover the tower as drawn in
the plans will be useful for library
space. A tower would be less ef
fective in a mountainous state, but
in flat Nebraska it is desirable.
Flans Not Final.
"The plins published in Omaha
papers wi not necessarily be the
ones used. It was through these
plans that Mr. Goodhue was ac
cepted as architect. He was chosen
because he had vision, and because
he combined the three great essen
tials, economy, beauty and utility.
"Architects today are trying to
pet away from precedent to get bet
ter result!. There were some archi
tects disappointed at not being se
lected, but such criticism is entirely
unjust and without grounds. As it
is anonvmous tt will have little
weight."
