' Lincoln, Nov. 14.—(Special.)—The committee which has in charge the work of preparing a report to be pre- sented to the next legislature relative to the dangerous condition of the east wing of the state house is to prepare a report soon, The committee appointed by the governor consists of two members of the house and two from the senate, with James Craddock, an architect of Omaha. It has had one meeting and will have another before the session begins. All members of the legisla- ture on the committee have been re- elected to the legislature and also Mr. Craddock, Mr. Craddock, accompanied by Mr. Nielson, another of the Douglas county delegation, visited the state house today. Mr. Craddeck believes the state should prepare plans for a state house that will be good for use for the next 100 years, Then he would pull down the east wing of the pres- ent structure and build it according to the new plans and then add to it as the state is able to do so. \ Present the Time. Others are of the opinion there i no better time than the present to build a state house, or, at least, to get ready to do so within a very short time. As soon as the war is over in Europe, according to these men, the prices of building material will down, labor will be cheaper than it i now and the state should be in a condition to take advantage of it. They believe that if the state would borrow from the pepianent school fund, which now ha§ $10,000,000 out at interest, sufficient to erect a new state house, that'it would lose nothing cratic nition of the Dr. as defendants.
