tion over tne sites oi public buildings ana
no special provision has been made for
Newpor, News. So nothing can Dee done
until the State Legislature meets next
December. D. seems mat special Iesl.-
laton has been enacted ln Goo cases of
al buildings erected Boo the state. The

reached. To Boz better assured the Sc Pee
