tig0un.y ,-asters IN gold.
kapse from the out Of ten Senators and
Represeis, aIae will agree as to the imuie''
diate and pressing necessity for a new build
inp for the Government Printing Office, ana
that Senator Challenger, in his recent speech
did not exaggerate the danger to the health
and lives Of the nearly three thousand men
and women who work in the rickety OLD
building at present occupied by that ONCE
they will acknowledge shai they share the
shane felt by Senator Challenger when he
went through the magnificent buildings
erected in our large cities for the use OF the
big daily ne ewspapers aud contrasted them
in his mind, with the Government Printing
Office building, and vet collectively, Congress
does nothing toward erecting new build
ing. II will be much cheaper to erect new
and 6rstclass building than it would be to
pay damages for several hundred people
killed or crippled by an accident likely to
occur at any time in the building now in use,
as Congress may some day learn.
Every day there is a different bill an
nounced as onethe that is to be frs'iepaTed
up in the House by the Ways
Committee. To-day 1t is the s
wool bill, aud tomorrow is tb -, ,...,
to be called up. If the
ried out three will 10 voters assistant.
voted to tarifly to entrance.
Presie : passsayge ass way is a space "at least
II feet vide" with railing, rope, or
3ire on each side, commencing at les st
thirty feet away from and leading to the
entrance to such place of election, aud
passing the place assigned for the chal-
lengers," markes in foregoing diagram as
&C c." and thence to the entrance to the
room. The direction is not material, but
as all persons, except election officers
and challengers, are required to keep
thirty feet away from the polls when not
voting, it will be best to have it extend
directly out from the building.
The door, or entrance, must be "of easy
or convenient access" and at the end Of
the passage way" as designated I'D" in
the diagram.
"The inspector shall provide for the
room a railing therein, separating the
part Of the room to be occupied by the
election officers from the remainder OF
the 70 nj, as designated by "E E" in the
diagram.
"The table shall occupy sucL position
in said r, ON as to enable the election
ficers and challengers to easily com
municate with each Other" and the most
convenient way to attain this will be to
have the table for the election officers di-
rectly in front of the door Of entrance, as
designated by "a" in the diagram, and
the challengers on either side of the pas
sage way" outside, as designated by &C
c" in the diagram, where they can see
and communicate with the election Off
GERS, aud have the voter pass between
them
The booths in which the voter prepares
his ballot shall not be less than three i'll
number, and shall be zone booth for
EVERYONE hundred aud fifty voters, or frac-
tor part thereof, i'll each hundred or
simpson ssstrict." "They shall be at
leasGats can feet square and six feet high,
If the ceiling will admit it " They may
be with or without doors, all that is nee
essary being that the voter may mark or
prepare his ballot screened from observa-
ton. The sides aud back of the booths
should be made solid and without cracks
or opening
A shelfshould be constructed across the |
back of the bonth, about three and a-half
feet from the floor, and should be about
one aud one-halt feet wide, and the booth |
must be provided with pen and ink. The
booths may be placed in row or separ
ated. but must be so arranged that all |
the election officers in the room can see
whether more than one voter enters any
one of them at any one time, i. e, the
entrance Of the booths must be placed |
towards the election oGzcers
There may be, if practicable, a separ
ate means of exit"
With the exception ofthe usual table
and chairs for the election officers, no other
is needed.
