Due largely to effective speeches
by Assemblymen Pliny Norcross and
Levi H. Bancroft, the capitol bill was
advanced to a third reading in the
assembly by practically unanimous
vote The bill as it came from the
senate provides that the water, light,
power and heating plant shall be
separate from the capitol and sta
toned ON spur of the railroads, and
that the capitol be built OF granite
or marble or both. Mr.. Bancroft,
who is member of the capitol COM

involved in the bill, laying bare the

bers of the legislature transacting
the business of the state they ought
to show no more reluctance than
they do in private matters. The
only proposition To which the bill
commits the Legislature is a separate
heating plant, and the construction
OF the superstructures of granite or
marble. motion to postponed ac
