Useless or Condemned State Prop
erty.
The State Board for the Condemna-
ton of useless state property has re-
ceived bids from time to time during
the past two years for the purchase
of useless property, and has disposed
of various articles as itemized in their
report.
The total receipts therefrom amount
to S351.50. which has been paid into
the state treasury.
The Capitol Building Commission.
Since the last biennial report of
this commission, the Governors resi-
dence has been completed and occu-
pied. The total cost of this property
has been approximately S42, 10000.
The capitol building has been main
tanned during the past two years at a
total cost of $15, 299.33. This includes
insurance upon the building for three
years, amounting to $~2,250.O0. The
building is becoming more crowded
and sufficient Office room for the diff
ferent state officials is lacking. An

State Institutions.
In considering the wants and re-
quirements of our various state insti-
t%utions, it will perhaps be well for
us to steadily bear in mind that we
are not masters but servants of the
people, having the honor and high
privilege or representing an energetic,
intelligent and generous constituency,
which apparently is so busily engaged
in accommodating wealth and develop
ing the states innumerable resources,
as to leave little time for political
study and reflection. Yet our people
expect and demand wise laws and fair
treatment. While making no demands
for hasty or ill-advised legislation
along experimental lines, still they
do expect this legislature to keep
abreast of the times by making such
changes and ~enacting such new laws
as are necessary to euualize the bur
dens of taxation, and give equal op.
portunities to all the people and TO
every section of our commonwealth.
Upon every member of this legislature
rests a dual obligation; loyalty to
serve local constituents, at the same
time conserving and protecting the

Declaring that the only reason the Com
misioners reported unfavorably upon the
bill providing for an amendment to the code
relating to the practice in suits for divorce
was because the corporation counsel rec
commended adverse action, c. B. Hemingway
Of go 4th street northeast has written to
the Commissioners requesting that they re-
consider their action. There is imperative
need for the reforms in the divorce proceed
ings, he said.
Mr.. Hemingway contends that many men
are made the victims of INSCRIPTIONS meth
DDS because Of designing lawyers. The most
important provision Of the bill he Ii so per-
sistently advocating is that the husband of
a woman who is seeking divorce shall not
be required to pay alimony pending the It'll

Macfariand the matter has been referred to

that Mr.. Hemingway claims the latter was
