Colonel Abner Taylor this afternoon
addressed a note to the Capitol Board,
calling attention 10 the fact that the
board was delaying the work and re-
tardlng the erection of the capitol, and
asking that a meeting DO held this
afternoon to take definite action, as his
business interests made it imperative
Tor him to leave for Chicago tonight.
In response to the request the board
met, Colonel Swain being absent. After
soma discussion, Colonel TAYLOR being
present, the board offered to lot him

work for the bare cost of maintaining
them and to do away with the unneces.

construct the exterior walls of
Texas granite. This he positively re-.

work of the building now begins, and

are as well aware OF this as they are
that they cannot raise that amount of
money on the capitol lands, and they

leave the State to complete the work.
The HERALD correspondent, after
the meeting, from which he and other

his views on the matter, but on send
ing up his card the astute colonel
