There Is much cause for complaint about the
Inconvenience and unitness for the business Of the
! Department Headquarters in the new Capitol at
/ Albany. The former Headquarters in the old
State House were far more appropriate and roofny,
but the state authorities, with Gov. Hill at the
head OF the Board, ordered the change, TO give
eligible apartments. IL Is claimed, 20 some anti
quated commission which has long since outlivcd
! lis usefulness. The Council OF Administration
recently Rt meeting uttered protest against the
present state OF things, asking that the state Off
clals having control Of the matter move the Depart
ment Headquarters back 10 their old nccommoda-
tons. The R'attcr Is being looked afler by Col.
/ Clarkson. and the New York comrades have great
hopes that a change will be effected,
