Albert watkins Is trying to interest the
business men OF Lincoln and OF the state
IN A plan whereby he believes the state can
ve- a new capttoL more room for the uni

the present state house.
I'VE certainly need a new capitol said
Mr. Watkins. and the crowded condition
Of the state university Is very dsplorahie
I have suggested to several OF the business

a good one. to secure a tract OF and IN
some Of the additions to Lincoln, probably
Franklin Heights. and on that construct
a new capitol
Instead OF tearing down the present
building use 1t for university work. For
a few thousand dollars I am Satisfied ii
could be made to do very well for that
work. It is we'll lighted and would care
Tor the increased work Of the university
for a number Of years to come
TO build a new state house in Franklin
Heights would not be placing it too far
out. The Wisconsin capitol is much farther
from the business part OF town than is
the proposed site OF the new capitol.
