That in the new erection Of publ
buildings in this state by the fedenl'
government that the representative
and senators in congress from tikI
state are requested and urged to USE
every honorable effort to have spert
fed and used in all such public build
ings materials from this state where
readily available, whether from forest
mine, quarry, mill, factory or four

That if in it's wisdom the legat
ture of this state should see fit to ~
thorize the erection and appropriate
for any state buildings, that it would
help home industry by providing that
all material used in the erection q
such buildings be from the state q
