Begin Work on
StOrehOuse for
State Documents

Work was started Friday morning
digging the trench eight feet deep for
the foundation of the three story
brick fireproof storehouse which the
State is constructing for the storage
Of it's records and documents, on
Grove street near the adjutant gen.
erals building.
The contract for the building has
been awarded to George W. Lane
Company of Lewiston, and calls for
q building las feet long, so feet wide
on the front and 25 feet, 8 inches wide
at the rear. The odd shape has
been designed to conform to the
shape of the lot on which the store
house will stand. The material will
be red brick with a tar and gravel
roof. There will be electric lighting
and a freight elevator, but as the
building will be used entirely for
storage, according to the present
plans, no plumbing or heating is
provided for.
The two buildings which were on
the lot have been disposed of. the
smaller one used as storehouse
having been torn down. and the
larger one, the armory for the
Infantry Brigade, having been moved
onto a nearby lot on Grove street
which has just been purchased by the
City of Augusta from Frank +. Mace
of this city. The armory building has
been given by the State to the City
of Augusta in exchange for the lot
of land upon which the new State
storehouse will be erected
1t is expected that the States new
storage building will be completed
by the 18th of November.
