HOUSE DOCUMENT ROOM
SUPERINTENDENT WOODS PRO
POSED IMPROVEMENTS.
Plans Made for New Steel Shelving
Utilization of the Loft-Cost
About $17, 500.

The crowded condition Of the document
room of the House of Representatives was
today made the subject Of a report sub
mitted to the Speaker by the superintendent
of the Capitol. The report is in response
to direction to investigate the lack Of ac-
commodations and crowded condition of the
document room complained Of by Mr.. Chas
H. Strobeck, superintendent of the room.
Report of Superintendent Woods.
Superintendent Woods says:
"A brief visit to the document room will
convince any person that the superintend-
ent has reasonable ground for complaint
The present conditions are the growth of
years, and within my knowledge, hasty and
frequent additions to the shelving have been
made from time to time, until now, the
rooms are overcrowded and unpleasantIy
packed with documents, to the detriment of
the conduct of business. After consultation
with the superintendent have caused plans
to be made for the refitting of the docu-
ment room with new steel shelving, ar
ranged IN such manner as will materially
aid In the distribution of. and access to,
files. The estimated cost of this branch of
the work is $14, 600.
The Senate committee rules having
assigned to the Senate library all space un-
der the new roof over the old library sec
tion of the building up to the division line
established by law, there remains at the
disposal Of the House committee on rules
the remaining half of the space. This space
Is exceptionally well adapted to the use of
the document room. Many of it's files are
already stored there under temporary ar
rangement. If the space is assigned to the
document room and about one thousand dol
lars allotted for the shelving required to
fit it up for use I think, and the superin-
tendent Of the document room believes, that
the problem will be solved. Documents now
In the basement, belonging to the document
room, can be brought up and arranged.
For the prompt conduct of files and
documents between the office and the space
overhead l would suggest a carrier or
small book elevator, operated by electricity.
together with the necessary telephone SER
vice. AT this writing no accurate estimate
can be given for this carrier, but 1 believe
that the service can be installed within a
limit of $500.
Minor arrangements such as new floors,
painting, etc, can be completed out of the
regular appropriations controlled by this
office.
Summing up, the probable cost will be:

A Dep1orable Condition.

superintendent Strobeck's report on the
condition Of things, which was sent to
Doorkeeper Lyons March 81. follows:
The accommodations Of the document
room Of the House Of Representatives I'M
pei me to address you and through you the
proper committee having Jurisdiction over
matters relating to said ROOM There was
a time, undoubtedly, when the convenience
and space of this department were suffl-
cient for the work necessary to be done
therein. That time has long since passed.
The immense volume of business now COM
ing into the document room cannot be sat
Lsfactorily transacted in the present quar-
ters. L am certain that no other office in
the Capitol is SO crowded and contracted
Some of the objections may be briefly stat
ed:
% The palpable lack of space room
"2) A lack Of proper and sufficient
shelving and file cases.
'C3) An absolute necessity for more light
and ventilation.
80 An office of inadequate size, which
during sessions Of Congress does not meet
the requirements of the situation, and store
rooms for documents and files, situated in
different places from the unfinished space
under the roof to the dark and mouldy
rooms in the subbasement
90 An utter impossibility on the part of
the employees to do the business demanded
of them to the satisfaction of members and
officials or to themselves, however much
they may strive to do so.
t6) fhe most important reason for some
change here, In my estmat ton, Is the la
biity OF a fire accidentally occurring and
the great and incalcula BILE loss which would
follow. The dark narrow passages, over
crowded with infiammable matter, make
the place regular fire trap.
Many other reasons can be given to en-
phasze the necessity for the enlargement
and Encouragement OF the present House
document room. Those who have climbed
up into the heights or gone down into the
contracted dpViOnS1V a r.
ranged department will fully realize the
necessity which exists for larger and better
facilities for conducting the business and
enabling the same to be transacted with
that promptness and satisfaction which the
good public demands. 1t is therefore most
respectfully suggested that some action be
taken by The House which will meet pres
ent and future requirements, and l most
earnestly recommend that the early atten-
tion Of Congress may be called to this mat
ter"

Sensational Suit at Mokslumns Hill.

John McLeon, of Mokelumne Hill,
has commenced suit in the superior
court OF Calaveras county against his
nephew, Il. N. Magee, to cancel con-
to Magee about d year ago. The prop
erty involved is the Leger hotel,
Davidson's store, several dwelling
houses at the Hill, besides various notes
and mortgages, and $4,000 in Stock ton
bank, all OF the value of about $40, 600.
About year age McLeon, who is Is
years of age, and who was formerly the
town baker, was sued by Sadie Nc
Carthy of West Point for breach of
promise. McLeon, who was very much
attached to his nephew, and who in
tended to make him his heir on his
death, promptly conveyed all his prop
erty to his nephew. Young Magee
had been caring for McLeon great
many years. A few weeks ago the
breach of promise case was dismissed,
it is said on McLeon'S promise to the
woman that he would get his property
back and marry her. But the nephew
thought it against the welfare of his
uncle to marry at his great age, and
especially to such young woman as
Miss Mccarthy, she being only about
80 years Of age, and declined to return
all OF the property unless the uncle
would give up the marriage notion.
The uncle thereupon brought the suit.
Solinsky & Wehe and |. McSorley ap-
pear for the plaintiff, and VIM. J. Nc
Gee has been retained to defend the
suit for the nephew. a sensational
and bitter contest is expected.
