long enough. he believes.
"The legislature that meets in Janu-
airy certainly must appropriate money
for repairs and renovations," he. said.
Complaints are coming in from all
parts Of the building about dilapi-
dated conditions and in some in
stances repairs are needed to the
extent unless they are made more
serious deterioration may set in"
Several Of the large red granite
stones in the p~ortico at the north en-
trance to the building are badly
cracked and the breach is widening
steadily.
The breaks in the stone can be
easily detected from the window of
