4 "FTNISHFD" BUILDING.

The Pennsylvania Capitol controversy has
been taken into court. Following out the sug
gestlon of Governor Hastings, Attorney Gen
eral Mccormick has asked for an injunction
TO restrain the Capitol Commissioners from
awarding contracts for the proposed building
under the specifications adopted by them.
With an agreement of the Commissioners 10
take no action pending n hearing Of the case.
II was set over until next Wednesday. What
ever NAV be the decision OF the Dauphn Coun-
" Court the issues will doubtless be taken he
fore the tribunal OF last resort, and the broad
question OF the powers Of commission in car
rying out definite legislative mandate be
finally determined.
The details of the Harrisburg difficulty are Of
little interest beyond the confines Of Pennsyl-
vania. but the principle involved is one which
bears on the construction OF every public work,

and future needs. should be erected for hat

Governor Hastings holds that such pro-

the Legislature and make 1t practically inpos-

building contemplated by the Commission would
be a groteSque monstrosity which would call
for appropriations To keep what had llready

more money would be finished. Accordingly
the Court is asked TO prevent the COMMISSION
from spending the S550O00 for an incomplete

Of this State the enormous job at Albany might

vanians, with the example Of New-lork before
them, will be wise under no circumstances TO

IL the rule could be enforced upon managers
of public works that they must keep within
the appropriations for the perfection Of all en-
teIprses not definitely ordered to be undertaken
in stages, much public money would he saved
and many administrative scandals avertcd.
