UP AGAINST IT AGAIN.
Legislature Fails to Provide for
Necessary Servants to Keep up
New Capitol.

Jackson, August 1S.-The state
officials are now undecided whether to
move into the new capitol building
on the first Of September, the date
upon which it is estimated that the
new structure will be completed and
ready for occupancy.
The legislature made one very
grave mistake: it failed to make pro-
visions for the keeping of the build
ing, for Janitors, engineers, watch
men, and other hire that is absolutely
necessary to maintain the officials III
their new Building. The legislature
tailed 70 provide tor this necessity,
which was purely al oversight.
1t will cost the state great deal
more to keep up the new handsome
million dollar structure than it has
cost to maintain the old, and abso-
lutely no provision has been made to
meet the increased expense, and, as Is
we'll known, not cent can be paid
out by the governor except by the
order of the legislature.
The only way for the officials to
manage, il they move into the new
capitol on the first of September,
is to borrow the money to meet she
increased expense AMI get the legis
lature at its next session to make al
appropriation covering the def
cheney.
