IMPROVING THE wALKWAYs.
Colonel Richardson Having Capitol
souare Walks Repaved.

Colonel Richardson, who, as Register
of the Land Office. is superintendent or
the buildings and grounds in the Capitol
Square. has a gang of men engaged in
improving the walk in front of the State
Library Building. The asphalt pavement
there was so badly worn that large holes
had been made by the rains in the walk,
which was fast becoming a regular ankle
twister, especially at night, when the
holes could not be seen. The old asphalt
pavement has been removed, and the men
are now laying down a pavement Of
bricks, which Will be a great improve
ment. Colonel Richardson is also having
the pavement on the north side of the
library porch relaid, as il had sunk down
so that the water falling on the terrace
was carried under the building.
When these and other contemplated i'm
provements are completed, the Capitol
Square will present a more attractive APP
pearance, and be more inviting to prone
naders during the autumnal season. When
one considers how small an amount of
money Is at Colonel Richardson's dis
posal TO keep the square in order. 1t is a
wonder that everything looks so trim and
attractive. In these improvements he
seems to have the faculty OF making a
little money go long way.
The Capitol Square is the property OF
the State, and all the people should feel
a just pride in having its great natural
beauties enhanced as much as possible
by the hand OF art.
