The adjutant generals Office has a
problem on hand. It is just getting
in 13 big army wagons and has no
place in which to store them. The
basement of the new capitol is the
only place in sight. and even this is
becoming crowded with the stuff
stored there by all the departments.
In addition to this the only means OF
reaching the basement is down the
elevator shaft and to lower 13 big
army wagons 10 this way is no trifing
job. or course they must be .sknocked
down" for this. and even that is no
small job.
