RESOLUTION in regard to government aid for the government buildings in the city of Louisville.

WHEREAS, The present building belonging to the United. States in the city of Louisville, in which are the post-office, pension office, collector of revenue, surveyor, United States District and Circuit Courts, and other officers, is wholly inadequate and unsuited for the growing business of the city, and very inconvenient for many of the most important offices, the courts being forced into the third story, and into apartments wholly unsuited for the purpose; and no one of the many officers confined in this small building has sufficient room to properly keep the records and do the business of the

office, the entire building not having capacity for more than one third the officers now in it; and whereas, Kentucky, and especially the district in which the city of Louisville is situated, are among the largest revenue-paying districts in the Union; and whereas, no other city of equal amount of gov ernment business, located in any State from which so large revenue is derived by the government of the United States, but has far superior buildings and better accommodations for the officers; now, therefore,

Resolved by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

That the Congress of the United States bc, and it is hereby, requested to make an appropriation for government buildings at Louisville that will furnish suitable accommodations for the rapidly increasing business of the State and district. That the Governor be requested to forward a copy of this resolution to each of our Representatives and Senators in Congress, with the request that they urge this matter upon the proper committee.
