HOUSE PASSES EMERGENCY
1RESoLVE TO PROVIDE new =
QUARTERS FOR HEALTH DEPT.

at work. the department could be
moved into the building in six weeks.
Representative Greenleaf of Auburn,
a well known contractor and Hiram
Kicker of Poland Springs have both
seen the building and they have de-
clared that it would be fine oppor-
tunity for the state to provide. suit
able quarters for the Department
of Health at a great saving.
One other way in which this build
ing excells the old quarters is in To-
cation. This building is located less
than a half mile from the State
House, on a fine road and with cleo
trio cars passing every few minutes.
1t is on a much travelled road and
among other things would be a good
advertisement for the state as out
of state people passing would be
sure to note the fine quarters of the
State Department of Health. The
old building on the other hand. while
cramped and badly arranged for the
work to be done by the department is
situated nearly two miles from the
State house and the location is such
that it is hard to find. The facilities
for reaching the building are not
good and many who would other
wise visit the building are deferred
from doing so by the fact that they
have not the time to find 1t. --.
ent garage would seem the logical
and ideal location for the State De-
partment of Health. The building
is already up. so that the department
could soon be housed in it's new
quarters and this according to au-
thorities on the subject, at a great
saving to the state.
