Got. Stuart Will Supervise tfta
Buying ot Property.
Haniaburg. Pa., Feb. M. With the
adeptloa of the Fox bill, which la now
well on Ita way through tbe legisla
ture, tbe extension of Capitol park
can be started without delay. The bill
provides for the appointment by the
governor, with the approval of the
enate, of a commission of three com
petent cltlaena. to acquire the property
for the state. The commission will be
vested with the full power of the state
to take land -by condemnation where
It cannot be purchased amicably.
The fact that the naming of the com-
mlaaloB ta left entirely with the gov
ernor Is a guarantee that the enter
prise win be carried out with the
same business-like care and capacity
that haa marked ether features of the
Stuart administration. As In the caae
of other committees appointed by him.
Governor 8tuart will keep in persona
touch with the work of this body. All
the acta of the commission will be
subject to the governor's approval.
Aa to the prices that are to be oaid
for the properties within the area of
the proposed extension, the detailed
report of Governor Stuart's three ex
perts, already presented to the leglsla.

lure, will serve aa a guide both to the
park extension commission in effect
ing amicable purchaaea and to the
court and Jurlea where condemnation
proceedings are necessitated by re
fusal of property owners to sell at a
reasonable figure.
The bill provides that net more than
1400.000 a year ahall be expended dur
ing Ave yeara. Tbla will not only com
plete the purchase of the property
within the total appropriation of 12.-
000,000, but la expected to provide the
ground ready for parking, aa the mi
serials la the buildings will nay for
clearing them away. Governor
Stuart, experts have estimated that
the properties can be bought for f 1.-
soi.tbo. The total appropriation In the
Fox bill, therefore, la ample for all re
quirements.
Aa fast aa the property la purchased
aad cleared It will be entered upon by
the board of public grounds and build
ings for the purpose of converting It
Into a park. Thla work will Involve
comparatively little expense, aa the
board la already equipped with a com
petent force of engineers and garden-
era. Even the plana are well thought
out, for the extension of the park has
been regarded for several yeara as
bound to come, and there has beea more
or lees getting ready for It on the part
of the officiate In charge of the public
property. Under these circumstances
there will be no occasion for hiring
high-priced engineers . aad landscape
garuenera. -
The eiteaeios will carry the nark
from ka present eastern limit 1000 feet
to the main line tracks of tbe Penn
sylvania railroad. Tbla will open np a
aweeping view of the most Imposing
state capltol In the country to hun
dreds of thousands of persons who an
nually pasa thla point along the great
avenue of transcontinental travel.
These Include people not only from all
over the United States and the world.
but also tbe bulk of the Inhabitants of
Pennsylvania, who are especially In
terested la tbe state capltol, and who
can now see it only by stopping off
between trains at Harriaburg. Passen
ger trains at thla point run at neces
sarily reduced speed, because they are
either approaching or just leaving the
Harriaburg station, and with the park
extending for a distance of Ave city
blocks, abundant opportunity would
be given for a full view of the beau
tiful atructure that la now hidden be
hind bulldluga of the poorest class.
As the members of the legislature
hare studied thls-and other phases of
the proposition they have discerned
that this Is not only "a good business
move, but la a matter of Interest to
the people of the whole state. And
since the plan haa been worked out
with so many aafeguarda againat ex
travagance and with an economy of
expenditure which clears the way
financially, the last vestige of opposi
tion haa faded, away aad there la prac

Barney Barnato waa only 46 when he

Unreal in India Is obviously becoro- '

and incitements to wholesale massa

or not, there can be little question
that the government la now facing the
