LIGHT BY THE STATE.
Electric Plant Will Be Put in the
State House.

The state executive council has de-
cided to put an electric plant in the
state house to light the building.
The plant will be attached to the state
house boilers so that but little more coal
will be consumed in its operation than
is used at present. Secretary of State
Bush who has been figuring on the
question for some time has come to the
conclusion that the cost of the plant
will be saved in one year. After that
the expense will be small for the cost
of operation will be almost nothing. 1t
will not be necessary to employ any ex-
ira help.
The plans have not been fully ma
tured but the council expects to have
the new plant in operation by fall so
that it may be used during the session
of the legislature.
