pipes are TO be laid to heat the State
House from the boilers in the new build

been laid as far as the capitol and the
men are now working under the build
ing. The blasting has been completed
under the treasurer's Office with no com.
motion to the persons working therein.

Those employed in the fuel administra-
ton office in the State House are having
an interesting time with bits of CONVEX
sation relative to people who want to
operate their automobiles Sunday. They
do not seem as yet to have reached the
conclusion that this is a request for pa
triotic service and that 1t is closely allied
to the request that took place last winter
when industrial places were closed for a
time. Most of those who call the office
want a decision as to whether they may
run their automobile and some of the
reasons they set forth as to why they
should be allowed to are really amusing.
Each case is handled with weight but as
matter of fact, it is purely for the in
dividual to decide whether he is entitled
to the exceptions set forth L. the new
regulations.
