TIE C1PLTOL APPROPRTATION

The Governor has signed the bill which
approprialcS S365. fos work 10 be done on
the Capitol building. But his approval Is
qualified by protest. lie objects 20 the meas
IRE for two reasons: first, because % provides
for n supervising commission 10 be associated
with Comm s,ioncr Perry, and second, because
the appropriation is not larger A. rule,

faction But in view Of the recent scandals
growing out Of the construction Of the Assem-
by Chamber ceiling the Legislature would not
have responded 10 public sentiment il IT had
failed 10 place check upon Commissioner
Perry. The bill provides that tho Lieutenant
Governor and the State Engineer, General
Jones and Mr. Bogart shall be associated with
him in the prosecution Of the work. Both
these men being Democrats, il cannot be said
that the members of the Republican majority
who were responsible for the passage Of the
bill were seeking a partisan advantage IN
naming commission. They were merely
seeking like prudent men 10 promote the public
welfare Experience has shown that the ma
,clialS and the labor which arc expended upon
this great building cannot be supervised too
closely nor too constantly. We believe that
if the three supervisors in question are faith
full to their trust they will all find enough TO do.
II is TO be conceded that a good argument
could be made in favor Of a larger appropria-
ton. As the Governor figures it, only Sl75,175
Of the cntro amount placed in the bill is
available for promoting the legitimate prog
ross Of the completion Of the CAPITOL That
is TO say, more than half the appropriation is
needed for repairs, for furniture and fixtures
"not contemplated by the original plan or
estimate" and for improving the buildings
sanitary condition. But the very fact that
they have been repeatedly called upon 10 spend
so much money for repairing the parts Uf the
Capitol which had been reported As done has
tended to induce the people TO make haste
slowly with "the legitimate progress of the
completion" Under the bill which has Just
become law, for example, they must put their
hands into their pockets and bring ont 80 600
/" for the necessary material and work for I'M
proving the sanitary condition OF the Capitol"
II does not take many such items TO discourage
taxpayers, even those who on general prin-
ciples want to see the building finished as soon
as possible. Nevertheless, we agree with the
Governor in believing that it is the part of
common sense TO do what remains to be done
On the Capitol without delay. This year the
work Of gspairug has been amply nrovided

mistake has been made. The site CHOSEN lor inc
cnIdiors and Sailors Memorial Arch in the plaza
Of Prospect Park is far from satisfactory to Il
LARGO number of those who feel deep interest

H.. arch should stand directly at the entrance

ing 70 the principal entrance to the park in the

torolo of car tracks The fact has just come 10
Iicbt that TO remove these car tracks, in order
10 MAKO room for the arch will cost close to

has been calculated on heretofore in that rela-
ton.
An important question is therefore presented
10 the Monument Commission. Shall they pro-
coed with the plans already agreed on, spchd
this large sum in removing the Objectionable caE
tracks and erect the arch on spot that Is
likely 70 prove extremely undesirable, or undO

Tor so much of il as may he required IN removing
the fountain, which occupies what is undoub'-

which il is proposed TO erect? II is true That
the foundations Of the arch have already been
constructed and that the cornerstone was lald
late in the fall But it is not too late to correct
a blundcr such as the commission appears 10 have
made And in the existing circumstances the
enormous cost OF getting rid of the car tracks
affords an excellent excuse and defence for a
radical change of purpose on the part OF the
officials charged with the direction and super
vision of the work in question. Now is the time
for the people of Brooklyn TO impress this fact
upon Mayor Chaplin and his associates. Unless
the change is made at once. it will not he made
