 elaborate and costly idea, and with the ap-

The superstructure of the dome of the plaza

The adjustment of the sidewalks might be accomplished by 

 laying down a centre strip of flagging 10 feet wide in the centre 

 of the walk, with borders of turf. This will require about 

 230,000 square feet of flagging, and estimated to cost about 

 $46,000. This is not included in any estimate, for the reason 

 that this work may be done in conjunction with the future 

 improvement of boundary streets .
