Governor Morgan urges big Capitol plan and road bonds
Gov E F Morgan presents a broad biennial message to West Virginia lawmakers calling for enlarging the Capitol with at least 1 million annually for building, plus early authorization to sell 20 million in state road bonds.

He urges budget reform, tax tweaks, and tighter finance laws.
