Insurance Commissioner
Moves From Capitol

Richmond, Vs~- March 16.-Ousted
from the State Capitol by a special
act of the recent general assembly,
providing that his office quarters be
vacated SO that additional space
might be provided for the State
Corporation Commission. Insurance
Commissioner Button will move his
department tomorrow to the second
floor of Murphy's Hotel.
This move had been strongly ad.
vocated by Governor Davis for some
months. He contends the insurance
companies, which foot the cost of
operating the department, should
provide special quarters of their
own and not utilize space at the
expense of the State.
