DECORATING THE CAPITOL.

 Cost at $200,000

Professor Farnam, of Yale, Estimates
 Cost at $200,0OO.
 Hartford March 12.-The committee on appropriations in the general assem- bly yesterday considered the resolution appropriating S30,OOO for decorations to be placed on the exterior of the capitol building.
 Arthur L. Shipman, of this city, sec- retary of commissions of sculpture, ad- dressed the committee and stated that there are places for seventy-seven works of art on the exterior of the building, sixty-four of which are occu- pied. The vacant places consist of twenty-six pedestals, seventeen tym- pana and thirty-four bosses. It was desirable that 6 plan should be entered upon for the completion of the decora- ations. MT. Shipman submitted to the committee plan to be followed out for ! the north front, above the main en- trance on that side.
 Charles Noel Flagg, of this city, a member of the commission on sculp- ture, said that it would be impossible to say what the cost would be for the dec- oration. Paul Bartlett might ask $15,- 900 for a single statue, while other sculptors would be glad to do the work
 for great deal less. MT. Flags said he should like to see on the north front of
 the capitol the work of great American
 sculptors.
 1 Henry W. Farnam, of New Haven chairman of the commission on sculp- ture said that to complete the decora- tions of the building would probably
 cost from s2O0,O0O to $3000O0. This ex- penditure would be spread over great enumber of years. The capitol cost $3.- OOO, 900, and Professor Farnam did not think that 10 per cent. of the cost fol decoration and establishment would be excessive.
 l K. H. Leavens, of Norwich, member of the sculpture commission, said that I it would be wise to make a beginning of the work to be done. Only $14,0Ot had as yet been expended on the ex' terior decoration of the capitol. 1 Consideration of the bill appropriat l ing S1,OOO for tablet to be placed 1T the capitol in memory of Dr. Eli Todd was postponed until Wednesday of mex ! week,
