Routine business was considered at the
meeting of the board of control Tuesday
afternoon held in Brandon. The matter
of assignment of rooms in the new state
building was temporarily disposed of, and
upon suggestion from the governors de-
partment the Vermont free public libra
nv commission will commence moving
into room allotted to it in the basement
of the new building. Their work has been
somewhat delayed. Their appropriation
was not increased, on the understanding
that they were to go into the building
early in the year; therefore this moving
will help in their expenses. Relative to
the other offices, it was decided better
to leave them where they are until the
matter of what offices will go into the
remodeled portion of the State House is
settled. The matter of remodeling one of
the buildings at the home for the feeble
minded was under consideration, and the
plans arranged for the board here APP
proved by the different members, This
will give accommodation for some 40 per
sons who should be in the care of the
institution.
