in the basement instead of the heat
ing plant it will be converted into
sleeping rooms There was in the
old building twenty eight sleeping
apartments. This number will be in
creased to thirty-nine, which adds ma
terially to the capacity of the home.
All the rooms will be much larger than
formerly, making them more sanitary
and giving the inmates more convene

will be the offices, sick rooms, nursery,
and hospital rooms A fire proof vault

room fitted with every modern con-
venlence known to the architect.
The grand lodge Of the i. O. o. h,
appropriated $4,000 as a rebuilding
fund last fall and this in addition to
the $500 received for the insurance
on the building and the $4,000 received
for the damage to the fittings will all
be used in the reconstruction No ex-
pense will be spared which will in any
way interfere with the new building be-
ing modern in every detail.

and went over under the rules.
Mr.. Monte, of Benton county, intro
duced one of the first appropriation
bills of the session, that to pay for a
music hall and gymnasium, coal house
etc. at the blind school at Vinton.
The constitutional amendment to en-
power the legislature to pass a strong
drainage law was introduced by Mr..
Head. 1t is the same as the amend
ment which passed the last legislature.
1t will be recalled that the Thirtieth
general assembly twisted all about the
drainage question in order to prevent
running afoul of the constitution. and
the big drainage law was based on
he theory that it was necessary for
public health, which everybody knows
is a subterfuge If the constitution
is amended a drainage law can be en-
acted on its own merit and it can be
made much stronger and more effective
than the present law. A curious situa-
tion is presented, however. In that
while if the resolution for the amend
ment is concurred in by the Thirty first
general assembly It will not be per-
1Hllteu 10 80 10 inc people ulilil tie
Thirty second has had chance at 1t.
This is because the constitution con-
templates adoption of an amendment
by two separate general assemblies
elected each one by the people, while it
is not at all certain the supreme court
would hold this one to have a commits
sion from the people. The resolution
Will therefore go before three separate
legislatures before the people can vote
on it.
The Greeley bill on highways would
reduce the width of public highways
| from &C to so feet.
/ Mr.. Teter, who represents Marion
county, where there are coal mines,
would by law compel the operators of
coal mines to employ and pay for shot
frers. 1t is a measure demanded by
the miners.
A resolution before the legislature by
Mr. Hambleton contemplates n joint
committee of three from each house
to inquire into the complaint which
comes from several counties that cer-
tain indemnity and surety companies,
which have Legal recognition by the
state have not been recognized in all
counties of the state where bonds have
been offered with them, and that there
has been much trouble and annoyance
by reason of boards of supervisors
making different rules regarding these
companies.
