The state regulatory department and the licensing division of the at- torney general’s office were consoli- dated, with a saving in the space needed. The principal reduction, however, is expected to be made by retaining the Present power plant on the capitol grounds and by failing to construct the power plant designed for the basement of the capitol building. The necessary foundations and abutments have been placed in the building for this equipment and could be used at a later time, Rishworth explained. Other contemplated changes, and there are many of them, relate to de- tails of the building proper. It was explained that, unless the need for the space is manifest, some of the floors may be left unfinished and without partitions originally planned for them. Under this process the top floors of the big building would not be completed at this time and the money would be used for the prison power plant installation.
