Co.tIiest Building In the Country.

Which is the costliest building in
America? Would you answer offhand
the New York state capitol at Albany?
Hardly. Your thoughts would turn
more likely to the national capitol at
Washington or to the Congressional H.
brary But the New York state capitol
cost more than the national capitol
and the library Of congress together.
The Empire State capitol cost S24,-
000,000 while the one at Washington,
two acres larger, cost only $12,OO0,0OO
and the Congressional library only ST.
100000. Our Empire State capitol cost
as much as the nation paid for all
Florida and the Philippines combined.
