BUILDING DESIGN.
Commission Adopts Plan, at
a Recent Meeting. For a
Handsome Structure
at Annapolis.

The State Buildings Commits.
sion met Monday afternoon in
the office of the Board of State
Charities and selected a design
for the Court Of Appeals building
at Annapolis,
The design selected is a simple
and dignited building in the
classic style, appropriate for the
purposes for which it is to be
used and in harmony with its sur.
roundings. 1t is 100 by 100 feet.
two stories high and with a fat
roof. The most imposing en-
trance is at the side on Bladen
street, facing the Governors
house, with another entrance fac
Ing State Circle, close to the rear
entrance of the State House.
The basement will contain
large number of rooms partly
above ground, suitable for storage
and room for the custodian.
On the first floor there will be
commodious lobby, well lighted
from the rear. with offices ar
ranged around three sides. The
main stairway will ascend from
the center of the lobby. branch.
ing to the right and left. one
branch leading to the court
chamber and the other to the
State Library. The whole end
of the building on the first floor,
toward College avenue. is devoted
to the Comptroller and Treasurer,
the end toward the State House
being given to the Land Office
and the Tax Commissioner.
The second floor is devoted to
the Court of Appeals and the
State Library. The Court Hall
will be in the center of the end
next to the State House. with a
consultation room on one side
and rooms tor the reporter and
clerk on the other. Space is pro
vided in the library for about
$50. 900 volumes. There will be
elevators, lavatorieS, vaults and
all necessary Offices, a private
room for the librarian and a room
for LAWYERS attending on the
court. The Lighting and ventila-

the building, without heating or
lighting apparatus, constructed

ponds largely upon the relative
cost. The architects have been

possible.

GOVERNOR GIVES REASONS.

GOVERNOR GIVES REASONS.
The foregoing long expected
proclamation by Governor Smith
converting the Legislature is spec
ial session was issued last even
ing. Governor Smith also caused
to be prepared the following ad-
dress to the people of Maryland:
"After mature deliberation
have decided that it is my duty
to call special session Of the
Legislature.
''ln my judgment, upon a care
full review of the situation, an
extraordinary occasion exists
which a due regard to the well
fare of the State requires me to
give to the General Assemblv an
opportunity to consider, pass
upon and provide for.
"For some months past urgent
appeals have come to me from all
parts of this State to take this
step and have sought to ascer.
tain public sentiment upon the
subject by diligent and extensive
inquiry. The result of my inves.
tigation fully satifies me that
there is a widespread and univer.
sal feeling that there ought to
be a special session.
AS TO THE OPPOSITION.
considerable opposition has
manifested itself to the call, as
was to be expected, but, while
this has made it all the more
necessary for me to weigh the
subject with deliberation and
care, it obviously could not re.
lieve me of the duty of finally de.
Gliding the question for myself
under a full sense of my official
responsibility. And in determin
ing to issue the call it is no small
qualification to me to feel that |
am sustained by an aroused pub.
lie opinion, which, while not en-.
titled to control my own iudg.
ment, | yet am not at liberty to
disregard.
"Having said this much |
might, perhaps, well postpone a
statement of the reasons which
have influenced me, until in a
formal and official shape | can
lay them before the General AS.
sembly in the special message
which / shall send to the two
houses when they convene. But
in view of the somewhat harsh
comments which the suggestion
for the call of an extra session
has elected it is proper that
shall give now some explanation
of the grounds upon which | deem
it my duty to exercise the power

Old Claim Allowed.

The Court of Claims has re-
ported to Congress their findings
relative to the claim of Albert II.
Suman, of Washington County,
Maryland. 1t appears that a
horse was taken from Suman in
July, 1868, by General Kirkpat-
rick's command, and the court
finds that the animal was worth
1926 and that amount some day
will be appropriated to reimburse
the Washington County farmer.
