The proposed measure is one where
IN three men are to be empowered
to enter into a state real estate busi-

No city should be made the capital
under the terms OF this bill.
The bill would improvish the state,
bring on uuending expense and even
worse litigation, and, in the end, put
the Pennsylvania capital scandal to
shame.

bill are so hogglsh they would not

Boston's Swamp Lands.

From the Boston Advertiser.
The state board of health, after an IN
yestigation of the conditions OF the
swamp lands in Greater Boston has de-
cided that such lands are in many ways
a menace to public health. The So
called Fowle meadows, or Neponset
meadows, are very forcibly condemned
by the states experts. AS result of in
vestigations into the high cost of living.
it has been found that too small per-
centage of the people are engaged in agri-
culture. If this state were eventually to
enter upon the work or draining the Ne
ponset meadows. the land could be sold
in lots large enough to allow the house
holders to maintain small truck gardens,
which would go far toward supplying
Greater Boston with farm products at a
reasonable price. A plague spot would
be obliterated and enough ground would
be left for the addition of a beautiful
park to the Blue Hills reservation with
out any cost to the state. A relief would
be afforded to the overcrowding of the
tenement districts Of Boston, and there
than that of any of the wards of Boston
could easily be housed on this large area
of now useless territory.
There are other swamp lands within
Greater Boston alike in character to the
Neponset meadows and In the same class

swamp lands by right Of eminent do

ture. The state has the right to i'm

been that in most cases some Industry
wishes to retain some special privilege.
