4 Document No. 5, [Session
: about one thousand square feet of surface, needing more or
less repair.
Recommended that the Superintendent be authorized to make
such repairs, and that the sum of two thousand ($2,000) dollars
be appropriated for this purpose, and that the balance remain-ing,
if any, be used for any rapairs found necessary upon the
Capitol.
It is also recommended that the Superintendent be autho-rized
to expend |200, or so much thereof as is needed, in the jDwr-cliase
and transplanting of deciduous, and evergreen ornamen-tal
trees, of the choicest varieties, in and about the grounds of
the Capitol, those already set proving inferior and unthrifty.
It is conceded that the system of water closets upon the
Capitol grounds is a public nuisance tliat ought to be abated ; the
vaults being upon the same level wdth the wells and the water
therein being impregnated with it, rendering it unfit for use.
There is no sewerage for conveyance to remote and appropriate
localities.
The system of heating the Capitol building is incomplete,
and behind the improvements of the age. It is deficient 'in
effect and economy of fuel. Modern appliances for heating a
building of the dimensions of the Capitol with one fire by
heated air or steam are complete and elaborate. The Capitol
"has thirty fire places, all, or nearly all of which are in use
during the cold weather, some burning coal, and some burning
wood. The wood used per day at this date is about 4 cords,
at $4 per cord, cost $16. Coal is used in six fires, and cost
about $15 per ton, or $Y 50 per day.
It is estimated that one-fourth the fuel used in the Capitol
would do with hot air what all the fuel used in the building
does not do, viz : heat all the rooms to a uniform temperature
and make them comfortable.
It is recommended that the Superintendent be authorized to
inquire into the cost of a change of the closets from
their present location to the interior of the Capitol building,
and of proper sewerage therefor, and for lieating the Capitol
