pressed by the officials at the state house
over the contemplated directory for the

sion has decided TO have placed at the
top OF the stairs near the Francis street
entrance where the people from the cars
all enter. Already a large space of the

pretty much alike 10 the offices. neces-
stating an examination Of each or pretty
lucid directions.
Hardly a day passes when tho best
known offices. such as the secretary OF

not visited by seekers after information
as to the locations of committee rooms
and headquarters OF the various depart
ments.
They are always ready to give the di-
rections. but, nevertheless, they are glad
that the sign showing the number of each
room on each floor and giving the list
OF departments 10 be found in each Is to
be put before the public.
