Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 April 1885 — The British Commons Chamber. [ARTICLE]

The British Commons Chamber.

Notwithstanding the vast sums of money lavished by Great Britian upon her palace of Westminster she now finds the Comm ops Chamber wholly unfit for the purpose for which it was designed, and’ discussion of a new chamber has already begun. The sizeof the present chamber is based upon the idea that the best thing members have to do is not to listen to debates. There is not near seating capacity for all the members, neither is there proper ventilation. Members also begin to demand desks for writing purposes, similar to those in the French Assembly and American House of Representatives.
