STATE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING.

g ENATOR CONNER'S persistence has
been rewarded and the State is to have a
new administration building and library which
will be separate from the State House. at Do
yer. This improvement is sorely needed and it
is to be regretted that the Legislators did not
see their way clear to provide for a handsome
new State building, such as was contemplated
in the original bill. Perhaps, in few years, we
shall be able to erect such a structure. The OBJ
lection to the State building was because of
fears that the State was not in position to af-
ford the expense, but under the present plan the
money Delaware received from the war claims
of 1872 will be devoted TO the improvement.
The bill as passed contains a formidable array
of names as commissioners to superintend the
construction of the building. They are TO give
their services without pay 1t may be taken for
granted that these commissioners will see that
the State gets the worth of her money! And
what contrast is Delawares way of doing
things s-compared with that OF Pennsylvania
and some other states. There will surely be 10
scandal about the erection of this State structure
The new State library and administration
building is a necessity. Although the sum TO be
expended for it is comparatively small. it is
much better than nothing. Senator Conner is
10 be congratulated for winning his fight after
it had been seemingly lost.
