Floors of Capitol
Are to Be Renovated

The floors in the House end of the
Capitol, which have been worn away
by the hurrying feet Of sightseers as
much as by the daily traffic of House
members, are going to be renovated.
This work will start just as soon as
the House adjourns. which is expected
to be early in June.
The appropriation to start this
work has already been made. Chair
man Good Of the House appropria-
tions committee is much interested in
keeping the Capitol building in prop
er repair, and last year an appropria-
ton Of $23,000 was carried in the sun
dry civil bill to get this job of relay
ing the floors started.
Some of the floors on the House end
are very badly worn. particularly at
the main entrance to the House cham
Der, where most visitors call to see
members. and at the entrances.
The fancy tile for the floors came
originally from England. When Ell
liott Woods. superintendent Of the
Capitol, set about procuring material
for the new floors he found out that
it will be impossible to get duplicate
tiles in this country without chang
ing the method of manufacture. So
it has been decided to relay the floors
with marble. Drawings are now be-
ing made, so that the new floors may
be in harmony with the architecture
of the corridors, where they are to be
placed.
The appropriation now available is
| only to start the work, which will
probably continue for several years
No attempt will be made to displace
the tiles where they form an artistic
pattern. The designs for the new
marble floors are to be as simple az
possible.
