Senate Passes Weigle Bill Appropriate
ing $4,000 for Administration Build
in State Metrolopis.

Madison senate passed the
Weigle bill appropriating $4,000 for
the construction and equipment Of a
state administration building in the
city of Milwaukee. The vote on the
passage of the bill was 10 to 4. Sen
ator Weigle said that a good site
could be bought for about $3.50 per
front foot. He believed that $4,000
would be sufficient to buy the land
and erect and furnish the building.
The various state departments and
commissions. he said, we're spending
$4,000 a year for rent for offices in
Milwaukee, which were widely scat
tered. If a new building were fur
nished, as proposed by the bill, all of
the state officers working in Milwau-
kee would be housed under the same
roof. which would be great conVen-
fence to the public.
Aroused over Assemblyman Carpen-
ter'S recital of wrongs following in
the wake of gypsy fortune tellers, the
committee on public welfare Wednes-
day afternoon unanimously recon-
mended his anti-fortune telling bill for
passage. Robbery. petty thievery,
fraud, bunco games, seduction, and
murderous assault were enumerated
by the Baraboo representative as ex-
amples of their evil character.
The assembly passed the Whiteside
bill for legislative investigation of the

as to their agricultural possibilities.
The bill went through by decisive
vote, after all but one amendment had
been voted down.
