Taking a Trip From Our Experience.
From The Harrisburg Patriot
Philadelphia has spent more than
twenty million dollars on a City Hall
which is hidden in a maze OF archi-
tecturally hideous skyscrapers and only
small section OF which can be seen
from any direction. When that build
ing was projected Philadelphia could
have acquired adjacent grounds for a
suitable park for thousands which
could not now be got for millions. In
fact the opportunity has gone forever.
The State Of Pennsylvania should
profit by the experience OF PhiladeI-
phia and secure at once the grounds
for the necessary park extension so
that the improvement can be finished
contemporaneously with the compile
ton Of the new Capitol. The necessary
legislation should be passed as early
as possible during the next session oi

the British government, knowing the Sc

fronting the Russian feet, should nave
taken the precaution OF warning the
trawier feet against getting in the way
