OPPOSITION
DISAPPEARING
Gtrong Gentir. ent In the Legislature
In Favor of the Enlargement of the j
State Capitol Grounds.
Harrisburg, Feb. 25. —It Is believed j
that Senator FOX'b bill providing for j
the extension of the ground surround
ing Pennsylvania's magnificent ne.v 1
slate capitol will be passed finally j
through the senate during the present
week.
The hill has been aniepded so that
no more than $.>00,000 of the total ap- j
propriation to pay for the fourteen 1
acres of land which it Is proposed to j
take can be expended in any one year, j
It will b» demonstrated by facts and
figures rom the official reports and es
timate* of the expenses of the state
government ior the next two years
thnt the payments for the Capitol
Park extension can be made without
In the slightest degree infringing upon j
the money necessary for the inainte- ;
nance of state charitable institutions, j
the g«mi piivate institutions which ara
ai customed to receive state nid, tho
public schools and a laige additional !
appropriation lor the construction of
gcod roads and still leave always a
comfortable surplus in the state treas
ury.
The sentiment, anions; legislator?
appear' to be m ich more favorable to
tl.e proposed enlnrgment of the capitol
grounds than it was at the beginning
of the session The members have
It- iked over the ground have seen the
absolute nvcessily for this great lm
iiiovement, and they realize that it
ran never be made at any other time
for so lil(le money as il can now Tbey
rc:i!ize thai the growth of tho com
i:i *n weali hand the increase in the
public business will make necessary
within the next, few years the erection
of additional buildings for the accom
modation of some departments of the
state government for which there will
si>nti not be room enough in our new j
rnpil.nl, just as new buildings are be
-1 nit erected in Washington for the
executive department of the national
go comment
To accommodate thos« new buildings
in Washington the government is pay
ing $10,01K1,000 for property which irn
iivdiately after the close of the civil
war could have been got for $500,000
It is , tisolutely impossible to erect
any additional buildings on the pres
ert capitol grounds without destroying
the effect of our splendid new lapi
tol The proposed extension would
provide sites for the additional build
init* which are sure to be necessary
and at the same time give a proper
setting to the capitol and permit a
fine view ol it from the railroad over
w'lieh 12.000,000 passengers go every
yiar. and from which It Is now hidden
by buildings mostly poor, mean and
unsightly
Senator Fox's bill carries an appro
priation as tt stands now of $1,600,000,
no more than $600,000 of which can be
expended in one year. This, it is esti
mated. i; sufficient to pay for all the
ground needed, which will be taken by
a commt slon to be appointed by Gov
ernor Stuart, and the valuation to he
aisessed hy a jury cf view to be com
posed of entirely disinterested per
sons.
Property in Harrisburg is enhancing
in value very rapidly l.'niess the sec
tion which is needed for the enlarge
ment of Capitol Park is taken now Its
value will multiply every few years
The stat" carir.ot possibly make a bet
tor Investment, simply as a business
proposition than to take this land be
fore it U built up by fine large build
ings, as it Inevitably will be If the
states does not take It
