Concerning the Department of Engineering of the State of California. The Department of Engineering was created by an act of the Legislature of the State of California, approved on March 11, 1907. Section 1 of the contract law of the State Department of Engineering, approved June 8, 1915, pro- vides that "Whenever provision is made by law for the erection, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of any State structure, building, road or other State improvement of any kind, excepting improvements on the property of the State on the water front of the City and County of San Francisco under the jurisdiction of the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, the total cost of which will exceed the sum of $1,000.00, the same shall be under the sole charge and direct control of the Department of Engineering." Section 11 of the Department of Engineering law, approved May 19, 1915, is in part as follows: "All architectural work of the Department shall be under the charge of the State Architect. When, however, it shall be deemed to be for the best interests of the State, the Board of Control, with the approval of the Governor, may require and arrange for public competition, and in all such competitions the Board of Control with the approval of the Governor and with the advice of the State Architect, may prescribe the schedule of prizes, the total of which, exclusive of the fee of the winner, shall not exceed one per centum of the amount appropriated for any building. The fee of the successful architect shall not exceed six per centum of the cost of said building." The Legislature of 1913 passed an act which was approved by the Governor on June 7, 1913, and which provided for the issuance and sale of State bonds to create a fund for the construction, erection, equipment, completion and furnishing of a State building or buildings upon a lot of land in the City and County of San Francisco to be used by the offices and Departments of the State which are located in said City and County of San Francisco, and provided for the submission of this act to the vote of the people. This act of the Legislature was ratified by the people at the general election held in the month of November, A. D. 1914. The Legislature of 1913 passed an act which was approved by the Governor on June 7, 1913, and which authorized and directed the Department of Engineering of the State of California to construct, erect, equip and furnish the necessary building or buildings upon a lot Of land situated in the City and County of San Francisco, for the use and occupancy of the offices and Departments of the State govern- ment located in said City and County of San Francisco, out of the proceeds of the sale of bonds to be authorized by the vote of the people. Section 2 of this last mentioned act of the Legislature of 1913 is as follows: "The plan for the construction of such building or buildings shall be prepared by said Depart- ment of Engineering and before any work of construction is commenced thereon, shall be sub- mitted to and approved by a special Commission, consisting of the Governor, the Attorney General and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, which said Commission is hereby created for such purpose." The full text of the Department of Engineering law and of the contract law of the State Department of Engineering, together with the amendments to these laws, also the full text of the two acts of the Legislature of 1913, above referred to, also the architects' license law, are printed immediately following this Program and form an essential part hereof. 224654 . The Board of Control, with the approval of the Governor, by virtue of the power vested in it by Section 11 of the Department of Engineering law, has instituted this competition. The office of the Board of Control is in the State Capitol at Sacramento, California. As provided by Section 11 of the State Engineering law, the State Architect is architectural advisor to advise the Board of Control in the preparation of this Program and in the conduct of this competition. The office of the State Architect is in the Forum Building, Sacramento, California. Concerning the Nature of the Competition. In conducting this competition, the State desires to put before the architectural profession of Cali- fornia, a Program of conditions that will invite the participation of the ablest members of the profession. At the same time it is deemed necessary to safeguard the competition with certain restrictions, to the end that no appointment as architect of the San Francisco State Building will be made of any competitor until he has demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of the Jury, composed as described in Section 34 hereof, his artistic talent, his integrity and his administrative ability to execute his design should he be selected. To effect this purpose, the competition is held in two stages, the first being for the purpose of eliminating all but eight architects who will be admitted to the second stage. It is the desire of the Board of Control to secure for the State of California, the best building that can be obtained within the appropriation, considered from the standpoint of adaptability, durability and artistic qualities; therefore, all certificated architects of the State of California who have had the necessary experience are invited to participate in this competition. Concerning the Site and Present Buildings on the Civic Center. [For the sake of convenience and clearness, all paragraphs that are mandatory in their nature are printed in black-face type. Failure to comply with all mandatory requirements will preclude any award in favor of the designer so failing.] One. The building will be erected on the Civic Center in the City and County of San Francisco, California. Two. The San Francisco City Hall on the west side of the Civic Center and the Auditorium on the south side are complete and in use. The San Francisco Public Library is in course of construction at the northeast corner of the Civic Center. The State Building is to be erected on the north side; the main front will face the south. Three. A description of the site by metes and bounds is as follows: Beginning at the point of intersection of the northerly line of McAllister Street with the easterly line of Polk Street and running thence northerly along said easterly line of Polk Street one hundred and twenty feet (120' 0") to the point of intersection of said easterly line of Polk Street with the southerly line of Eedwood Street (for- merly Locust Avenue) ; and thence at a right angle easterly and along said southerly line of Redwood Street four hundred and twelve feet and six inches (412' 6") to the point of intersection of said southerly line of Eedwood Street with the westerly line of Larkin Street ; and thence at a right angle southerly and along said westerly line of Larkin Street one hundred and twenty feet (120' 0") to the point of intersection of said westerly line of Larkin Street with the northerly line of McAllister Street ; and thence at a right angle westerly and along said northerly line of McAllister Street four hundred and twelve feet and six inches (412' 6") to said point of intersection of said northerly line of McAllister Street with the easterly line of Polk Street, being the point of commencement. Four. The plot plan of the Civic Center, a bird's-eye view of the completed Civic Center as proposed, also three photographs, one being of the completed City Hall, the second being of the completed Auditorium and the third being of the Public Library in course of construction, also sectional drawings showing the fronts of these three buildings, all of which accompany this Program, form an essential part hereof. The City Hall, the Auditorium and the Public Library are faced on the exterior with California granite. Five. It is mandatory that the design of the State Building shall be in harmony with the three monumental buildings already constructed or in course of construction on the Civic Center, as above described; the height above grade of the cornice of the State Building must be about seventy feet (70' 0"), which is practically the height of the cornices on the City Hall, the Auditorium and the Library. Six. Competitors who can conveniently do so, should personally view the Civic Center. Concerning the General Conditions of the Competition. Seven. If an association with another architect or firm of architects is contemplated, said associa- tion must be formed before plans are submitted and must continue until the completion of the building should the competitor become the winner of first place in this competition. Eight. Should any design submitted contain an original feature not contained in the drawings of any other competitor, such original feature will not be adopted or made use of in any way except with the author's full consent. Nine. Should any inquiries for further information concerning the conditions of the Program be found necessary by any competitor, such inquiries must in every case be made by letter sent through the mails to the State Architect, Forum Building, Sacramento, California, and in no other way. These inquiries may be anonymous. All such inquiries with their answers will be copied and simultaneously sent to all competitors by the State Architect. "With reference to the first stage, no inquiry bearing a postmark later than October 15, 1916, will be answered; with reference to the second stage, no inquiry bearing a postmark later than January 15, 1917, will be answered. No information will be given in any other manner by the Board of Control or any memb er thereof, or by the Secretary, or by any member of the Jury or by the State Architect, or by any of his confidential assistants. Ten. Any competitor who shall seek in any way, directly or indirectly, to influence in his favor any of those in control of this competition, shall forfeit all privileges and rights under this Program. Eleven. The building shall be of skeleton steel frame construction, fire-resisting, according to the very best practice. All material shall be of the very best quality; the exterior of the building shall be faced on the McAllister Street front and on at least suitable returns on the Polk and Larkin Street fronts with California granite; and preference shall be given to California material and also to Cali- fornia labor, where same of suitable character can be obtained at reasonable market prices. Twelve. For the purposes of this competition, fifty cents per cubic foot has been determined upon to cover the cost of the construction. Thirteen. For the purposes of this competition, the San Francisco State Building is not to exceed in cubical contents, 1,800,000 cubic feet. The cubage shall be computed as carefully as possible, showing the actual volume of the building calculated from the finished level or levels of the lowest floor to the mid-height of the roofs, if sloping, and to the highest points of the roofs, if flat and contained within the outside surfaces of the walls. Pilasters, cornices, balconies and other similar projections shall not be included. Porticos with engaged columns and similar projections shall be taken as solids and figured to the outer face of the column. When columns are free standing, one-half of the volume of the porticos shall be taken. There shall also be included in the cubage, the actual volume of all parapets, dormers, vaults and other features adding to the bulk of the building, also the actual volume of exterior steps above grade. Light wells of an area of less than 400 square feet shall not be deducted. Fourteen. In calculating cubage, account shall be taken of the variation in the exterior wall surface, as for example, the projection of a basement story beyond the general line of the building. Fifteen. Any excess of cubical contents above 1, 800,000 cubic feet, calculated as above stated, will place the author of the design out of the competition. Sixteen. The heating plant is already installed in a detached building and shall not be provided for in the State Building. Seventeen. The relation of the building to the boundary lines of the site is left to the competitors. Conditions Governing the First Stage of the Competition. DRAWINGS. Eighteen.

TEHANEY, Secretary. GEO. B. MCDOUGALL, State Architect. This Program of Competition for the San Francisco State Building has received the approval of the San Francisco Subcommittee on Competitions of the American Institute of Architects. A. I. A. Document 99 Professional Practice of Architects Schedule of Proper Minimum Charges 1. The Architect's professional services consist of the necessary conferences, the preparation of prelimi- nary studies, working drawings, specifications, large scale and full size detail drawings, and of the general direction and supervision of the work, for which, ex- cept as hereinafter mentioned, the minimum charge based upon the total cost* of the work complete, is six per cent. 2. On residential work, alterations to existing buildings, monuments, furniture, decorative and cabinet work and landscape architecture, it is proper to make a higher charge than above indicated. 3. The Architect is entitled to compensation for articles purchased under his direction, even though not designed by him. 4. If an operation is conducted under separate con- tracts, rather than under a general contract, it is proper to charge a special fee in addition to the charges mentioned elsewhere in this schedule. 5. Where the Architect is not otherwise retained, consultation fees for professional advice are to be paid in proportion to the importance of the question involved and services rendered. 6. Where heating, ventilating, mechanical, struc- tural, electrical and sanitary problems are of such a nature as to require the services of a specialist, the Owner is to pay for such services. Chemical and mechanical tests and surveys, when required, are to be paid for by the Owner. 7. Necessary traveling expenses are to be paid by the Owner. 8. If, after a definite scheme has been approved, changes in drawings, specifications or other docu- ments are required by the Owner; or if the Architect be put to extra labor or expense by the delinquency or insolvency of a contractor, the Architect shall be paid for such additional services and expense. 9. Payments to the Architect are due as his work .progresses in the following order: Upon completion of the preliminary studies, one-fifth of the entire fee; upon completion of specifications and general work- ing drawings (exclusive of details), two-fifths addi- tional, the remainder being due from time to time in proportion to the amount of service rendered. Until an actual estimate is received, charges are based upon the proposed cost of the work and pay- jments received are on account of the entire fee. 10. In case of the abandonment or suspension of the work, the basis of settlement is to be as follows: For preliminary studies, a fee in accordance with the character and magnitude of the work; for preliminary studies, specifications and general working drawings (exclusive of details), three-fifths of the fee for com- plete services. n. The supervision of an Architect (as distin- guished from the continuous personal superintend- ence which may be secured by the employment of a clerk of the works or superintendent of construction) means such inspection by the Architect or his deputy of work in studios and shops or a building or other work in process of erection, completion or alteration, as he finds necessary to ascertain whether it is being executed in general conformity with his drawings and specifications or directions. He has authority to reject any part of the work which does not so con- form and to order its removal and reconstruction. He has authority to act in emergencies that may arise in the course of construction, to order necessary changes, and to define the intent and meaning of the drawings and specifications. On operations where a clerk of the works or superintendent of construc- tion is required, the Architect shall employ such assistance at the Owner's expense. 12. Drawings and specifications, as instruments of service, are the property of the Architect. *The total cost is to be interpreted as the cost of all materials and labor necessary to complete the work, plus contractors' profits and expenses, as such cost would be if all materials were new and all labor fully paid, at market prices current when the work was ordered.

[Approved June 7, 1913.] The people of the State of California do enact as 'follows: SECTION 1. The department of engineering of the State of California is hereby authorized and directed to construct, erect, equip and furnish the necessary building or buildings upon a lot of land situated in the city and county of San Francisco for the use and occupancy of the officers and departments of the state government located in said city and county, out of the proceeds of the sale of bonds to be author- ized by the vote of the people in accordance with that certain act entitled "An act to provide for the issuance and sale of state bonds to create a fund for the construction, erection, equipment, completion and furnishing of a state building or buildings upon a lot of land in the city and county of San Francisco, to be used by the officers and departments of the state which are located in said city and county of San Fran- cisco, which lot of land has been secured from the city and county of San Francisco in exchange for the lot heretofore purchased by the state for said purposes ; and to create a sinking fund for the payment of said bonds ; and defining the duties of state officers in relation thereto ; and making an appropriation of one thousand dollars for the printing and sale of said bonds ; and providing for the submission of this act to the vote of the people."

SEC. 4. This act shall take effect upon the first day of December, 1914, if the act mentioned in section one hereof is approved by the vote of the people, and in such event the act of June 12, 1906, entitled "An act to provide for the selec- tion, location, acquisition and purchase of a site or sites, in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, for the erection, equipment and furnishing of a building or buildings, and for the improvement of the grounds thereof, for the use and occupancy of the officers and departments of the state government of the State of California maintaining headquarters in said city of San Francisco, and making an appropriation therefor," shall then be repealed and be of no further effect. CHAPTER 541. An act to provide for the issuance and sale of state bonds to create a fund for the construction, erection, equipment, completion and furnishing of a state building or build- ings upon a lot of land in the city and county of San Francisco, to be used by the officers and departments of the state which are located in said city and county of San Francisco, which lot of land has been secured from the city and county of San Francisco in exchange for the lot heretofore purchased by the state for said pur- poses; and to create a sinking fund for the payment of said bonds; and defining the duties of state officers in relation thereto; and making an appropriation of one thousand dollars for the printing and sale of said bonds; and providing for the submission of this act to the vote of the people. [Approved June 7, 1913.] The people of the State of California do enact as follows: SECTION 1. For the purpose of providing a fund for the payment of the indebtedness authorized to be incurred by the commission for the construction, erection, equipment, completion and furnishing of a state building or buildings in the city and county of San Francisco as provided in an act entitled "An act to provide for the construction, erection, equipment and furnishing of a building or buildings in the city and county of San Francisco and for the improvement of the grounds thereof for the use and occupancy of the officers and departments of the state government of the State of California located in said city and county of San Fran- cisco, and repealing other acts in conflict herewith," the state treasurer shall, immediately after the issuance of the proc- lamation of the governor, provided for in section ten hereof, prepare one thousand suitable bonds of the State of Cali- fornia in the denomination of one thousand dollars each, to be numbered from one to one thousand, inclusive, and to bear the date of the second day of July, 1915 ; the whole issue of said bonds shall not exceed the sum of one million dollars and the said bonds shall bear interest at the rate of four per cent per annum from the time of the issuance thereof, and both principal and interest shall be payable in gold coin of the present standard value and they shall be payable at the office of the state treasurer at the times and in the manner following, to wit : The first twenty of said bonds shall be due and payable on the second day of July, 1916, and twenty of said bonds, in consecutive numerical order, shall be due and payable on the second day of July in each and every year thereafter until and including the second day of July, 1965. The interest accruing on such of said bonds as are sold shall be due and payable at the office of the state treasurer on the second day of January and on the second day of July of each year after the sale of the same ; provided, that the first pay- ment of interest shall be made on the second day of January, 1916, on so many of said bonds as may have been theretofore sold. The state treasurer shall, on the second day of July, A. D. 1965, call in, cancel and destroy all bonds not thereto- fore sold and issued at the date of the maturity thereof. All bonds issued shall be signed by the governor and counter- signed by the state controller and shall be endorsed by the state treasurer and the said bonds shall be so signed, counter- signed and endorsed by the officers who are in office on the second day of July, 1915, and each shall have the seal of the State of California stamped thereon. The said bonds so signed, countersigned, endorsed and sealed, as herein pro- vided for, when sold, shall be and constitute a valid and binding obligation upon the State of California, though the sale thereof be made at a date or dates after the persons so signing, countersigning or endorsing, or any of them, shall cease to be the incumbents of said office or offices. SEC. 2. Interest coupons shall be attached to each of said bonds so that such coupons may be detached without injury to or mutilation of the bond. Said coupons shall be consecu- tively numbered, and shall be signed by the state treasurer. But no interest on any of said bonds shall be paid for any time which may intervene between the date of any of said bonds, and the issue and sale thereof to a purchaser. SEC. 3. The sum of one thousand dollars is hereby appro- priated to pay the expenses that may be incurred by the state treasurer in the printing and sale of said bonds. Said amount shall be paid out of the general fund on the state controller's warrants duly drawn for that purpose. SEC. 4. When the bonds authorized to be issued under this act shall be duly executed, they shall be sold by the state treasurer at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, in such parcels and numbers as said state treasurer shall determine ; but said treasurer must reject any and all bids for said bonds or for any of them, which shall be below the par value of said bonds so offered for sale, and he may by public announcement at the place and time fixed for the sale, for good and sufficient cause, continue such sale as to the whole of the bonds offered or any part thereof offered, to such time and place as he may select, not exceeding, how- ever, sixty days. Due notice of the time and place of sale of all bonds must be given by said treasurer by publication in two newspapers published in the city and county of San Francisco, and also by publication in one newspaper pub- lished in the city of Oakland, and by publication in one news- paper published in the city of Los Angeles, and by publica- tion in one newspaper published in the city of Sacramento, once a week during four weeks prior to such sale. The cost of such publication shall be paid out of the general fund of the state on controller's warrants duly drawn for that pur- pose. The proceeds of the sale of such bonds shall be forth- with paid over by said treasurer into the treasury and must be by him kept in a separate fund to be known and desig- nated as the "San Francisco state building fund" and must be used exclusively for the construction, erection, equipment, completion and furnishing of a state building or buildings in the city and county of San Francisco. Drafts and warrants upon said fund shall be drawn upon and shall be paid out of said fund in the same manner as drafts and warrants are drawn and paid for other state work under the control of the said department of engineering. SEC. 5. For the payment of the principal and interest of said bonds a sinking fund, to be known and designated as the "San Francisco state building sinking fund" shall be and the same is hereby created as follows : The state treasurer shall, on the second day of January and on the second day of July, commencing on the second day of January, 1916, and there- after on the second day of July and the second day of January of each and every year thereafter in which a por- tion of the bonds sold pursuant to the provisions of this act shall become due, transfer from the general fund of the state treasury to the said "San Francisco state building sinking fund" such an amount of the moneys appropriated by this act as may be required to pay the principal and interest of the bonds so becoming due and payable in such years. There is hereby appropriated from the general fund in the state treasury such sum annually as will be necessary to pay the principal of and the interest on the bonds, issued and sold pursuant to the provisions of this act, as said principal and interest becomes due and payable. There shall be collected annually in the same manner and at the same time as other state revenue is collected such a sum, in addition to the ordinary revenues of the state as shall be required to pay the principal and interest on said bonds as herein provided, and it is hereby made the duty of all officers charged by law with any duty in regard to the collection of said revenue, to do and perform each and every act which shall be necessary to collect such additional sum. SEC. 6. The principal on all of said bonds sold shall be paid at the time the same becomes due from the said San Francisco state building sinking fund and the interest on all bonds sold shall ;be paid at the time said interest becomes due from said sinking fund. Both principal and interest shall be so paid upon warrants duly drawn by the controller of the state upon demands audited by the state board of control and the faith of the State of California is hereby pledged for the payment of the principal of said bonds so sold and the interest accruing thereon. SEC. 7.

Architects' certificates issued in accordance with the pro- visions of this act shall remain in full force until revoked for cause, as hereinafter provided for in this act. A certifi- cate may be revoked for dishonest practices, or for gross incompetency in the practice of the profession, which ques- tions shall be determined by the district board of the district in which the person whose certificate is called in question shall reside, or shall be doing business; and upon a full investigation of the charges by the district board, an oppor- tunity having been given the accused to be heard in his own defense or by counsel ; and upon the verdict of at least four members of the district board, the board may issue its certifi- cate to the secretary of state revoking the certificate of the person accused; and the secretary of state shall thereupon cancel such certificate. And on the cancellation of such cer- tificate, it shall be the duty of the secretary of the district board to give notice of such cancellation to the county recorder of each county in this state, whereupon the recorder shall mark the certificate recorded in his office "Canceled." After the expiration of six months the person whose cer- tificate was revoked may have a new certificate issued to him by the secretary of state upon the certificate of the district board by which the certificate was revoked. Every certificated architect shall have a seal, the impres- sion of which must contain the name of the architect, his place of business, and the words "Certificated architect," with which he may stamp all plans prepared by him. 6. This act shall take effect from and after its passage. 7. Each regularly certificated architect shall pay an annual license fee of five dollars, said fee to be paid to the secretary of the board of the district of which he shall be a resident, and shall be payable in advance on January 1, and shall become delinquent the first day of April, of each year, after which date it shall be delinquent, and the certificate of such architects who shall fail to pay their license fees by April 1 of each year, shall be subject to cancellation by said district board, and notice of such cancellation shall be sent to each county recorder of the State of California and to the secre- tary of state as provided in section 5 of the act to regulate the practice of architecture, approved March 23, 1901, for cancellation of certificates. And the secretary of the said district shall issue a receipt signed by the president and secretary of the district, and under the seal of the district board, to each architect paying said license fee, showing that said certificated architect has paid his annual license fee, which license receipt shall be displayed in a prominent place in the office of said architect. The fees so collected shall be used to meet the expenses of the state board of architecture. (New section approved March 26, 1903, Statutes 1903, p. 522.
