United Stales Senate Engages in All Nig HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LXXXIV— No. 24 PARK EXTENSION BILL CARRYING ADDITIONAL $300,000 NOW READY Senator Beidleman Will Present Measure in Senate at Monday Evening's Session TO COMPLETE PURCHASES Governor Brumbaugh Will Go Over District in Company With Commission The bill to appropriate s3oo,Out) to complete the purchase of properties in lho Capitol Hark extension has been drafted at the Capitol and will be in troduced into the Senate on Monday night hy Senator Kdwurd E. Btldlt man, of l his city. The amount carried by the bill has been carefully worked out arid will lie required to take care of everything desired. The original appropriation of $2,000,000 it has been found will not reach by the time the end of the appropriation period ar rives and the additional sum will en able the commission to acquire the several churches, industrial plants and other properties in the district. The members of the commission dis cussed the wviV accomplished with Governor Tener just before he retired and he approved of what had been done and of what was deemed neces sary. The matter has also been taken tip with Governor Brumbaugh, who is much interested in the extension as is every man who lias given attention to the propostion. The new governor will take a walk around the district with the commission in'a short time, although ho has already noted the progress made and is familiar with the details of what has been done. Thus far the commission has bought 430 of the 537 properties in the dis trict and some of those not bought are optioned or in process of negotiation. Certain of these will be taken over this year under the original appro priation as it becomes available. The fact that the commission has made such splendid progress without having a case go to court and in a manner so open and above board that everyone knows 'what has been done hits not been lost on the legislators.. Just how Governor Tenor regarded the project is illustrated by this ref erence in his fureweil message: "The Capitol Park Commission, created by 'he act of Jun« 15. 1911, has conducted its affairs in a thorough businesslike way and its members are entitled to the highest praise. • • • The transaction of the rapidly increasing business of the various departments of the State government makes neces sary the acquisition of this area."
