CaDltOl building SuIIlcleHl iOollS'
voults. etc. to supply all of its de-
mands A committee has heretofore
been appointed, and has made re-
port. stating what would be the cost
of an addition to the Capitol. This
addition would furnish new halls for
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives; new Supreme Court rooms;
rooms for the State Library;
rooms for the meeting of all the COM
mittees needed by the General AS
sembly, as we'll as vaults where all
documents, manuscripts records and
papers could be securely and safely
kept The other proposition is, that
| if the General Assembly cannot see
its way to add to the Capitol, that
building known as q Hall of Records,
should be provided, this to be erect
ed on the lot now owned by the State
Of North Carolina on the northwest
corner of Salisbury and Morgan
streets, which was formerly purchased
as site for the Arsenal. This build
| ing should be large enough and with
| sufficient stories to accommodate ali
| the needs and requirements now de-
manded by the State. 1t is needless
| for me, after stating these facts to
| say to you that something must be
done unless you are willing to risk by
! fire or otherwise the destruction of
| documents, papers. records, etc, that
| have value that money even, can
| not replace. / therefore most earnest
| ly recommend to your consideration
| that you carefully inquire into the
| conditions above set forth and after
| ascertaning the needs and necessities
of the various departments, that you
! take such steps. either in adding to
/ the Capitol or building a new build
! ing suitable for the purposes required
to the end that the property of North
Carolina shall be protected, and its
various departments furnished facili-
! ties FOR properly tranSacting the busl-
ness of the State.
! This matter is respectfully submit
| ted to your consideration"
! The message was referred to the
