the newspapers contend that the aver
age individual cannot subsist on the

More Room for
State Bureaus
Needed, Claim

The imperative need for addi-
uonal quarters Tor state depart
ments now occupying the capitol
building and the supreme court
building, will be called to the at
tention of the forthcoming legisla-
ture in supplemental report at
tached to the budget for the main
tenance of the capitol and supreme
court buildings and grounds, pre-
pared by Secretary of State Kozer.
In this supplemental report
Kozer calls attention to the fact
that the walls of the new supreme
court building are strong enough to
support two additional stories and
suggests this addition as a solution
of the congested condition OF stare
departments under existing condi-
tions.
AT the present time Kozer points
out, the state highway department
and the industrial acciden commits
sion are occupying offices used as
committee rooms during legislative
sessions neeessitating move at the
| convening of every legislature and
causing much confusion as well as
expense to the departments effect
ed. The demands for space will not
become less, Kozer declares, point
ing out that the demand can be ex-
pected to increase from year to
| year
II the suggested addition to the
supreme court building does not
met the approval of the legislators,
kozer insists that steps must be TAX
en- toward the, construction Of a
modern office building adequate in
capacity and arrangement of con-
struction to fulfill modern office
demands.
