Since the Legislative Committee has
been taking into consideration the inter
est of the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, can not an appropriation be had
for the remodeiing, painting, ETC., of the
old Kentucky University? Or, if that
that can not be done, and in order to
economic, would it not be we'll
to cut off from the Broadway
and Upper street sizes of the lot
a number of fine building lots that
would not cramp nor be any disadvan-
tage to the College? These lots being
very fine and desirable could be sold for
a good price, the proceeds of which
could be employed in remodeling and
improving the appearance of this anti
quated and rusty old building. This
building att moderate outlay could be
shaped up and fashioned after modern
style that would make it an orna-
ment to the city instead of the old rusty,
dingy, weather-beaten eye sore that it is.
There are also great many locust
trees on the lot that afford but very
little shade, and are not at all orna-
mental, and only valuable for what they
are worth for timber These could be
cut down and made into posts and sold,
the proceeds of which could go toward
buying thrifty young maple and other
ornamental trees that would, in very
short time, afford a beautiful shade and
be ornamental to the grounds.
