STATE HOUSE
Governor Will JAM a. at $50 p NJ

$43. 500, the contract with the same
concern for the office building stip-
ulates the price of $4,000. or just
$500 additional.
The new Office building which
will house. the State highway and
health departments will be complet-
ed with plastered rooms and will
have a cellar for the steam heating
plant for both buildings. The stor-
age building Is less elaborate on the
inside and has no cellar, the only
excavating there having been for the
foundation. Both are three story
buildings.
Mr.. Brown called into conference
Harry Libby of the George w. Lane
Company. the contractor for both
buildings. who stated that the work
on the Office building is progressing
well, although on account of the
cold weather there has been some
delay in putting on the concrete
roof. This work could not be done
} on the extremely cold days, but now
is nearly completed. The concrete
roof will be topped with gravel and
tar.
The only additional expense to
the State on account of the work
being continued through the winter,
Mr.. Libby explained. is for the fuel
to heat the building, and this ex-
pense in the construction of any
building Is borne by the owner. For
heating the building coke is being
burned tn stoves of the salamander
type.
With the exception Of the delay
in putting on the roof, progress has
not been hindered in any way by
the cold weather. The excavation
for the cellar was completed before
there was any frost in the ground.
Mr.. Libby expects that the building
will be ready for occupancy the lat
ter part of April.
The first floor Of the new Office
building will be occupied by the
laboratories and the division of vital
statistics of the State Health depart
ment. The main Office of the health
department will be located on the
first floor Of the State House in the
room near the entrance now occu-
pied by the Highway Commission.
On the second floor of the office
building will be the offices of the
chief engineer and the assistant en-
gineers of the State Highway COM
mission and the State highway po-
lice. The accounting and drafting
divisions of highway department will
occupy the third floor.
There will be three large flreproof
vaults in the Office building, one for
the storage of highway plans, an
other for the keeping of the high
way department accounts, and the
third for the safe-keeping of the vi
tai statistics. which are among the
most important. records of the State.
