Six transcontinental Burlington

thirty-six hours delay to traffic caused
by a severe washout two miles west of

The state capitol commission will
shor ,ly adopt plans for the floral decor.
alton of the state house grounds. A
Minneapolis landscape gardner has
submitted several different plans,
without cost to the state, one of which
will probably be selected. They all
include flowerbeds extending cem.

between it and the side walk which
surrounds the state house at the dis
lance Of fifteen feet. Other plans
include a flower border for the princi-

using ANIMALS, perrinials or hardy
shrubs. The specifications provide fol

to properly care for these great flower
beds.
