To move the capital to Mitchell
would cost S250,000 for a site alone, az
that is the price put on the sites avail
able, by the syndicate in control!
That to build "A capital building
there would cost the state SAC, 900 for
water, gas and sewer mains to connect
with the city mains, all of which are
connected at Pierre!
That the building is not as large as
the present state house at Pierre!
That the public property could at all

Mitchell could force the state to
