The work thus far done under the supervision Of
this Commission ana or CapitOl Commissioner Perry
has been of a very satisfactory character. No

the delay having been caused by the necessity OF
giving most careful consideration to the plans and
specifications for important work. The mat
ter has so far progressed. nevertheless, that the
plans prepared by Commissioner Perry have been
examined and approved by the Commission, and
proposals for bids have been called for by adver-
tisement as required by the statutes. There is now
a fair prospect that this great edifice. which has
cost the people much money and has been In

finished for fixed amount Of money and

THE EXCISE QUESTION.
The question OF regulating the sale OF intoxicants
will come before you for action, and it is expected
that many different measures will be offered for
your consideration. | regard 1t my duty to
recommend such legislation will measurably re-
duce the number of places in which intoxicating
beverages shall be sold throughout the State.
Statistics show that there is larger number of sa
looms in this State. in proportion to population.
than in any other whose statistics available.
Public opinion does not concur in the desirability
OF such distinction for State. Ii Is charged
that the present excise law is measure favorable
to the liquor interests only: that private property
Is not protected from the aggressons of saloon in
fluence. and that v.olators of the law have COM
parative immunity from the penalties which II pre-
scribes. The latest complete returns of population
and of retail licensed drinking places in eight
