Vrom a Stan Correspondence
LINCOLN, Aug. e.-(special.)--The Gus
todians Of the capitol building are at a
ioss 70 know how 70 provide once room
tor All Of the committees ana ofcers OF
the next legislature. The building was
never 30 crowded as Il has been for the
last year, owing to the creation Of several
new onhces and departments, and It IA
thought now that the only way out OF the
elmeulty 10 to rent temporary quarters
during the next legislative session IN some
doWntown building. Ordinarily the assem-
BIZ, vita lie committees, has all of the
second and third floors Of the building.
With the exception OF the rooms and halls
occupied BY the supreme court. library and
attorney general. Since the adjournment
OF the last session rooms on either Of the
two floors have been given to the stats
game warden, the Travelling Library com
mission. The State Board Of Charities and
Corrections. the Pure Food department. the
state veterinarian and the Supreme Court
commission. All OF these rooms were
used during the session for legislative work
and even then some Of the committees had
70 encroach upon the departments down
stairs for meeting places.
The Supreme Court commission occupies
three rooms. for It IL divided into that
many sections. and each section must have
= room by itself. One section has the
lieutenant governors room. another has the
house cioakroom and the third Is in the
house billroom. The game warden has mia
since IN what is known as the lieutenant
governors private room. The veterinarian
e In the speakers room and the other new
officers are occupying COMMITTEES rooms. It
n di1icuit TO see how there can be much
more economy In the apportionment OF the
rooms.
A consolidated statement OF the building
and loan associations Of Nebraska will soon
be issued by the secretary OF the State
Banking board. II will show the associa>
lions generally TO be in a fourishing con-
dition. though the number Of shares In
force, especially in the smaller towns. viii
not be so large as heretofore. In the prin-
cipai cities, however. the business will
probably SHOW an increase.
The falling on in the number of shares
IL said to be due TO the fact that mem
bcrs are paying OF their indebtedness much
more rapidly than new shares are being
issued. In some communities the banks
have entered into strong competition with
the associations, offering to loan money
It almost az low a rate Of interest, with
the understanding that fully as long time
viii be given for the payments.
Two new associations have been organized
this year, which Is a good indication when
considered In connection with the fact that
laet wear there were no new ones.

The city Of Lincoln has appealed to the
supreme court from the Judgment Of the

colin Traction company to collect upward
Of $4,000 Of delinquent paving taxes. The
decision below was In favor Of the city. but
gave q FIRST lien for only $4,000. leaving
the collection OF the remainder q matter Of
doubt. City Attorney stgode is confident
Of securing q nrat lien for the entire
emount. or at least for considerable more
than given IN the judgment. There seems
