health menace, Senator Royal S.
Copeland has given notice that
at the first opportunity he would
introduce a measure apprOprating

This step by Senator Copeland

detailed report of two New York
architects who have drawn tenta.
tive plans for a more spacious
Senate chamber.
The plans were drawn on the
authority of a resolution intro.
duced by Senator Copeland at the
last session which appropriated
$4,000 to enable the architect OF
the Capitol ito consult with archi.
tects of repute and an expert in
ventilation and acoustics with a
view 10 improving the living

The architects report that for.
tunately the Senate chamber can
be enlarged to the outside wall of
the building without severe struc.
tural changes.
If the report of the architects is
followed the seating arrangement
of the Senator's will be semi-cir-
cular instead of the present school
room fashion.
