Albany. Jan. i0--Governor Roosevelt to-day dis

hours. and the next information obtained Of him
was shat he had descended into the cellars Of the
Capto. in company with Frederick p. Easton. Su-
perrin tendent Of Public Buildings and had there
examined the heating and venti,ating appara tus.
Senator Higgins thinks that the State should
ufacture the electricity used in public buildings.
Governor Black left the signing OF a new contract
for this light TO Governor Roosevelt. so he went
down into the basement Of the Capitol to see what
room there Is for the installation Of ali electrical
plant There was one once. but II became worn
out. was not replaced. and now the State buys its
light from local company. which provides cleo
tr3city well gas for the Capitol at a lump
sum Of $4,000 a year.
There is also the problem Of bringing more pure
air into the Capitol. which Mr.. Easton desired to
bring 70 the Governors attention. prominent
physlcian OF Albany said recently that he consid-
,sred the Capitol dangerously ill-ventiaed build
Ing and he knew State officials who made 1t
point to remain IN the structure as little as pos

The Governor will meet with his fellow trustees

Superintendent Of Public Buildings. and he has al
ready announced that H. II. Bender. of Albany
