ut all 155 other material were discovered sct
hs incorrect paging. etc, which rendered the inie,
practically of value tu that extent. The missing
grants were intcrned. and the paging corrected
which Is Of great benefit to the people who hav,
interests involved. Many volumes, he found, are

fuel heat the Offices the braries and the two house:
for the General Assembly. Whole amount expended
of 1901. Exhibit + shows the amount expended and

the Senate directing the Secretary Of State tn increase
their light, had The gas jets Overhaue1 and made
every effort to render the gas lights sufficient; but
after n second complaint of Senators and by resolu
tion OF the Senate was nrced to have electric lights
turned on in the Senate Chamber No provision was
made by the General Assemb for this extra expense

importance and feasibility of securing electric lights
for all public buildings in Columbia through one
plant located ut the Asylum which would lessen the
annual expense OF lights and be mere satisfactory.
The State House grounds have been carefully and d

appropriation could afford. The flowers were better

substantially, and the other is nov being rebuilt
