II is expected that work on the State
Library building will be resumed the latter
part OF this week. As stated IN the DIS
PArcH a few days ago, the delay has been
due to inability TO GET buh brick OF the
same color as those that have already
been LAID IN the walls.
Mr.. Anderson. the superintendent, sara
Yesterday that the first buif brick used were
supplied by the Powhatan Company, but
that company had not since been able to
match them. A supply Of brick had there
fore been ordered from New Jersey ana
would be here in day or two. The row

the bricks they had offered since the hrst

into the south and west walls OF the build
ING will be taken out aud relaid IN the
angles on the northeast wall, where iacA

From Mr. Anderson's S explanation ot the
