house halls in the old State House,
are naturally wondering where the
Joint sessions of the two bodies will
be held when such occasions arise.
With the 35 members of the
House and desks for each one it
would appear that the House cham
Der would be we'll occupied with the
desks and seats, leaving but little
room for any other gathering. The
galleries, a new feature Of the two
legislative halls, will accommodate
possibly 200 people which would re-
lieve the congestion which has al
ways existed in the old Representa-
tive Hall when anything of a spe-
cial nature was on hand.
Representative of the press, it is
understood, will be assigned seats
at the side of the presiding officers
desk as has been the custom for
many years.
1t is understood that when the
occasion arises for a joint session
the Senate chamber will be used
for this purpose as there will be but
II seats for the Senators and with
Il row of seats in circular form it is
believed the 35 Representatives
could be better seated in the Senate
chamber than the II Senators could
he seated in the House chamber.
It has not been definitely settled
as yet where the different commits
siOns will meet when they hold
their sessions, such as the State
Board. of PardOns. Budget Commits
sion, Mothers Pension Commission
II is understood that the inaugu-
ration of Governor Buck will take
place in the new State House in
either one of the two legislative
chambers, this to be decided when
the Legislature cOnyenes.
There will be sufficient commit
tee room in the new State House. a
thing which has been much needed
in the old State House.
The approaches to the new State
Capitol Building are being rushed as
fas: as possible 50 that there will
be no delay when the Legislature
convenes on January in allowing
automobiles to drive up to and
around the State House where there
has been providej ample room for
parking.
