new is. Governor Jacob inspected the
building and expressed himself Us salts,
fed with it for temporary offices for him
self and the other State officers Except
the Attorney GeneraD and also thought
there would DO ample room for the State
Library, From his conversation with

his approval Of the building was based
upon the expectation that Wheeling
would carry out In good faith her prom
iso to furnish building sufficient
to accommodate oil the depart
menE Of tho State government, and one
which would remedy any defects which
may be now thought to exist in tho late
Capitol building at Charleston. The

sites for h Capitol building, and while
