last touches that mark the completion
of the work.
The work of putting in the different
toilet rooms and lavatories has been
done by ]. II. Cogan & Co. Of this city,
ana has been satisfactory in every way.
The improvements have included work
on every floor of the building, from the
basement to the fourth floor and con-
stitute changes and increased conven-
fence in the sanitary equipment of the
Capitol that cannot fail TO be appre-
ciated.
ON the fourth floor, the two toilet
rooms have been thoroughly modern
lied. the old outfit having been torn
out and replaced by new. and each fit
ted with a lavatOrY ANA bowl. In ad-
ditiOn to this, the rooms have been
cleaned and painted. and are practical
" new throughout. On the third floor.
uear the entrance to the executive de-
1artment a neat lavatory has been eS-
tahliShel IN ne en-t,r. and as Il FUR
Their convenience. it has been supplied
not only with the city water, but with
spring water for drinking purposes.
A great improvement has also been
the governors room. where a new Law
atory has been set, and new seats and
plumbing put in. The two closets have
also been enlarged, and enclosed by
marble slabs. One of the closets is for
the convenience Of the governor, and
the other for the council. The room
will be painted white, and will be
very commodiOuS apartment.
Another great improvement has been
made in the employees room, on the
main floor of the building, in the re-
moval of the old sink which had done
duty for many years, and the SubStitu
ton of the marble bowl which was
formerly in the toilet room adjoining
the speakers room, on the fourth floor.
The water cooler, which stood on the
edge of the sink in the employees room,
has been removed, and now stands ON
a shelf in another part of the room.
This tank was formerly filled by the
use of pals, but now it is so arranged
that il can be filled with spring water
by simply turning a valve above 1t.
Finally the improvements have been
completed by the installing of Il sink
in the roll way at the north side of the
basement for the use of the men who
work about the grounds. The improve
mcnts have all been carried out with
view to increased convenience and SAN
itary Improvement, and that the work
has been successful is self evident.

State library is Il little volume which
