Moving the Military Stores to a State Arsenal, Etc.

Military stores belonging to the United States are kept in a wooden building along with combustible articles for which the rent is $500 per annum.

The state will deposit its military stores at the arsenal but there will be room for the stores of the United States which can be deposited at no expense.
