LEGISLATURE WARNED OF
 SPACE NEED
Territorial Offices Crowd. ed, Building Unsuited,
 Board Reports

Additional space for Territorial of- fees here is needed impcratively the Legislature was told today in the biennial report of the Board of Budget.
 Unless the Federal Government will immediately construct new wing to the Federal Building to take care of additional activities of the Federal Government and the Ter ritorial Government-acticn which information from the National Capi- tai indicates is most unlikely either immediately or for some years to ccme-it becomes imperative that the Territorial Government make suit abe provisions for supplying addi- tional space the Budget Boards report declares. 8eF
 The Board pointed out that ex- tensive repairs to the Territorial Building had to be financed during the biennium out of the Emergency Fund Additional supports had to be placed under about one-half of the building to carry the weight of heavy filing systems required by the Department of Public Welfare and Unemployment Compensation Com mission.
 The building is not large enough to accommodate the activities al present using the space, and neither is it suitable for the work which must be performed there, according to the Board.
