THE MINNESOTA CAPITOL SITE



it< selection Continues To Actlste the
ruhlic Mind
81 Paul, Dec. IL. Several offers a
sites have been made since the meeting
of the capitol commission last month.
At the time of the meeting the commits
sion had but two offers Ia consider.
Objections have been raised to every
one thus far, though at last months
meeting the commission was disposed
to regard the Merriam hill proposition
with some favor The great objection
raised 10 tnis and an other sites but
the present one was that the BaXinc
estate donated the present ground ON
condition that II should DO used for
capitol purposes. Ii was believed. there.
fore, that should the building he re-
moved TO another site the present
property would revert to the original
owner, and the state thereby incur q
heavy loss It has also been claimed
that this view is incorrect, aud that the
property was given for state pm
poses, and could he used as "a site for "a
new home for the State Historical
society or Tor other state buildings.
Assistant State superintendent VI
Schools H. H. Kirk comes forward with
"a schcmc which he believes not only
feasible hut excellent II also does
away with the fear of losing the present
site and Mr. Kirk thinks would salts
faclouly solve the problem His idea
is % condemn all that property lying
between Wabasha Minnesota ami EN-
change streets and College avenue, va.
eating two blocks OF Cedar street. the
two short joys of Tenth ana extending
Il new Exchange street the distance Of
two squares lie has drawn the dld-
gram So that it ina no way mtcrfcrcS
with the Central Presbyterian church
and yet gives perfect square. BY
doing this, Mr. Kirk, says the old cap.
itol building can stand as it is and bc
used while the new huildiug is I'M pro.
cess of erection. lie is firm In the belief
that II the capitol is removed the present
property win revert TO the Bazillc cs.
tate, ana thus in taking another site %
great loss to the state would result
According to his scheme the building
would face rs it does ut present, lie di-
rectly in the center of The plat and in
no wise conflict with the old building rs
1t stands now. The great Inconvenience
of moving, etc, would be done away
with under this plan.
