Content Note

On 6 June 1938, Hugh A. Kelly, Secretary to Gov. Moore and a member of the State House Commission, turned over to the commission the results of an analysis of the state government office situation in state-owned buildings and rented quarters. The bulk of the material (items #2-23 below) consists of a photographic survey of buildings used by the state, along with corresponding usage breakdowns recording the location and square footage for the individual agencies housed in each building. The survey is followed by three special schedules (item #24) providing statistics on the total space used at that time by each department in Trenton and Newark, and the hypothetical status of space usage after construction of a proposed new building and reallocation of space in existing state buildings. Originally bound in a clasp binder, the pages have been removed and placed in mylar sleeves.
