Capitol News* LINCOLN — State officials are pleased with the turnout of week end visitors to the Capitol. Rttoert Newell, superintendent of buildings and grounds, says on 27 weekends in 1961, 32,514 persons toured the state’s famous building. During all the week days of 1960 only 29,166 persons toured the Capitol, Newell said. He added that the number of visitors on the weekends in 1961 justifies keeping the building op en ail day Saturday and 9un day, the year round. However, Newell hastened to comment that budgetary prob lems would be a factor in year round operation. As a sample, Newell picked a weekend when the weather was bad. He counted 240 visitors on a Saturday and 257 on Sunday, from Nebraska, Canada, Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Colo rado. “That proves tourists come here the year round,” Newell said, “not just in the summer.” The Capitol is open from 2 p.ra. until 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sundays. Many people visit the structure on weekdays but Newell said these are not counted whereas on weekends his staff keeps a tally of the sightseers. In another area, the superin tendent reported his work crew is busy daily cleaning Nebraska’s most famous building. The latest to get the soap and water treat ment is the east lounge hearing room, used for meetings especial ly during the Legislature.

Smith, according to State Engi neer John Hossack, will review and record personal injuries, equipment and property acci dents, conduct safety practice education, and inspection and en forcement of safety practices and undertake special studies for the maintenance office.
