FOR STATE COURTS
Thompson To Urge Department
Justice Building Here.
Garry Plan Before Legislature
If Reelected Senator.
BUILD IT FOR $3.50, 600
Move Blocked Last Session by
War Conditions
Reserve All Fifth Floor State
House for SoIOns.

Senator WIN s Thompson. Reno
county, will urge erection OF a s250,-
coo state department OF justice build
ing in Topeka II he returns to the leg
islature for the 1921 session. he said
today Thompson was in Topeka aft
er a visit TO the state capitol building
in Jefferson City and believed Kansas
can profftabIy follow the plan OF Mis-
souri, by providing a special depart
ment of justice building
It was Thompson's plan TO relieve
congestion in the state house by re-
moving the supreme court chamber,
Justices offices, state library and the
public utilities Commission to new
building He proposed the building
be located on ground near the state
house In addition To expense Of a
site, Thompson believed the state
should spend $500, Gee to $500, 900 for
a new structure.
Mentioned Last Winter
Plans for the building were men
toned by Thorn psou last winter IN
view Of general conditions existing at
that time the matter was not taken up
In the next session, tho, the Reno
county senator viii offer bill carry
ing the appropriation
Under plans suggested the entire
third fIOor OF the state house would
be reserved for legislative purposes,
except that space might be tempor-
ariIy used wtile the law makers were
not in session
IF I return 70 the senate for the
next session I will urge the erection of
a department OF justice building by
the state said Senator Thompson 1T
is my theory that congestion in the
state house can be greatly relieved by
such a move. The third floor of the
state house. tho, should be reserved
for legislative purposes except when
the legislature is not IN session
Near the state House.
1T IS probable that a new depart
ment Of Justice building would cost
from $3.50, 600 TO $3a9. 600 independent
Of a site near the state house The
building would provide permanent Of
fees for the supreme court and court
Justices. as well as the state library
and the public utilities commission.
Some time ago Senator Thompson
announced plans to seek a second term
in the senate from Reno. Pratt and
kingmau counties
