THIS IS PRETTY SOFT 

  Oklahoma City, April 21.--At a meeting of the capitol commission, presided 
over by Governor Williams, it was decided to henceforth have two superintendents 
rather than one and the increased cost to the tax payers will be about $22,500.00  
Boyd was retained as superintendent of construction and Layton and Smith,
 architects who were ardent supporters of Governor Williams during the last 
campaign, were also employed as superintendents, for which they are to receive 
an additional one and one-half per cent on the one and one-half million dollars 
to be expended on the new capital, this means an additional $22,500.00 to the 
architects.

the play grounds were too small.
