OF $4,000 for the I'D Regiment armory Tribune
reporter yesterday afternoon saw General James
asked him to say whether or not he thought the
money asked for was imperatlyey needed for the
armory. and why. General Meier said:
THE state and the county have been very kind
TO us The Second Brigade has been cared for
in good shape. but there are certain things which
are necessary to maintain the commands OF the
brigade and money must be asked for now
and then u support the efficiency OF the
service and tho comfort OF the men. As to
the sd Regiment armory. there is fine building
but number Of things will have to be done before
II is competed and fully furnished. During the
strike the 22d Regiment was in Brooklyn and was
quartered In the 23d Regiment armory. The alb
sence OF proper facilities for cooking rations was
then shown. There many convenences greatly
needed in the armory and the appropriation bl. Is
a means 10 get the money. believe in keeping
appropriations down. but even in the light OF Gov
ernor Mortons message showing the necessity for
economy ! think this bill ought TO pass The State
haa to provide for new buildings and original work
The icard OF Supervisors used provide for repairs
needed etc. and maintenance is provided for In tho
regular estimates
II believe there will be n bill introduced provid-
ing for the needs OF the Nth Regiu ent The money
asked for would be used In putting the regiment
equal basis with the others. so far as armor-
lea go The money appropriated .ast year Is
available this year. The ground IL secured. but it
i intended to extend the armory. enlarge the drill
room, etc. Captain Rasqun may ask the State for
money for his commlnd-the ID Battery
