In fact, many members speak well of the project,
and the bill covering the matter to be introduced
by Senator Conner may be expected to receive
favorable consideration
he bill will be similar to that presented at the
last Legislature. Different views will be ex-
pressed as to the cost of the proposed structure
Those IN Kent county favoring the new State
House think that such building should cost
about quarter Of million of dollars, and we
have heard some Wilmington members of me
Legislature declare that 100000 would enable
the State to have handsome official home.
There is no doubt that imposing structure
could be erected for the larger figure mentioned.
The actual cost, however, if it should be decided
TO erect the building, would be agreed upon
without much difficulty
Those intimate with the finances of the State
believe that the building could be provided for
without seriously disturbing the pecuniary re-
sources of the State A bond issue would be
made with provision for the payment of interest
on the debt and the accumulating OF sinking
fund for the eventual payment of the bonds.
Future generations would thus help pay for the
building
Doubtless the report Of the Revenue and Tax
alton Commission will give an elaborate reve-
nue. scheme for the State. Some members of this
commission are heartily in favor of new State
House and it is fair to infer from their attitude
think the State can well afford the ex-
penditure The prospects for new State
House, therefore, seem to be bright and with
no cramping of the States finances entailed
thereby few will object to this proposal to give
Delaware a new building which would be an
ornament to our capital town and a credit to the
State
