G. Sorlie, and what has already been accomplished is on- ly a beginning. Governor Sorlic’s statement and New Year's gréeting, prepared for the Tribune, follow: “The year of 1926 has been a prosperous one for North Dakota and much that is worth while has peer eon Hughes office building will be oc- cupied by the state public health de- ‘partment and the records and equip- ment are being transferred from the! state capitol today. This arrange- ment will be only temporary, how- ever, as within a few years the Hughes interests plan to use the en- tire building for themselves. A Fine Building The new Hughes building is one of the finest business structures in the city, It is 50x75 feet in size, full basement and two stories, und is of fireproof construction through- out. The spacious office and sales rooms on the main floor are, finish- ed in white, with terrazza floors and black marble baseboards. The trim- ming is all of hardwood finish. The new quartérs will be much more satisfactory, both from .the stand- point of efficiency and convenience for the company’s patrons. A beau- tiful marble stairway leads to the second floor where # large a¢count- ing room and a half dozen offices are located. The basement of the new building will be used for testing purposes, work rooms, and for storage. The construction was comenced last July and was done by John L, Larson, contractor, great public "service corporation in which all the people are stockhold- ers, all interested in its successful developmént, all sharing in its ptos- perity, Through cooperation we have been able to work out some probleme of great. importance tp our state in the past year in a sane and sensible way.
