 Completed

Montgomery, May 2.-(Speoial. 1.-The new capitol wing will be ready for oc- cupancy by June l, During the past few weeks work has progressed to great ex- tent. much of the delicate interior con- struction having been completed and va rious other details finished that usually reoliire considerable time and skill.
 The private office of the governor has been practically finished, and this room is regarded as one of the most beautiful in the state. All the other offices on the first floor are also in state of completion, which makes it possible for the new wing to be occupied some time during the pres- ent month.
 The executive offices compose about five rooms, including the private office of the governor, the secretary's office. a large waiting room and offices for the recording secretary and the governors stenographer. on the opposite side of the hall are the offices of the secretary of state, including the insurance department, the motor we hicle department and the filing rooms. The offices on the second floor will be occu- pied by four or five state departments
 The governors offices in the old buid~ ing will be occupied by the attorney gem erals department, and the state convict department will take the secretary of states offices
 officials at the capitol are delighted over the prospect of being able to move into the new wing within the next few weeks. as the old building has been very much coDgested for want of space since the present administration began. and during Governor Corners administration. Several state departments were required to take offices in the downtown district, where they have been located for little more than year. These departments will now move back to the capitol.
