AFTER TEN YEARS BUILDING IS TO BE FINISHED IN FIRST
 CLASS STYLE.
LEGISLATURE WAS LIBERAL
Over $4C0,oo0 Available for Commis. sion to Carry Out Pans-To
 Beautify Grounds.

ost"tn Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.-The new Arkansas state capitol, upon which work was begun more than ten years ago, is about to be completed. As a result sr the action taken by the genaral as sembly which recently adjourned, the money is now available for the com. pletion of the structure, as well as for it's furnishing and for beautifying of the capitol grounds.
 While the new capitol has been oc- cUpied for the past two years it has rot been completed. The building it. self has been finished but the b2re walls and ceilings have lacked mural decorations and coloring, the shafts built to accommodate the elevators have been empty, temporary heating
The Prescott daily news., 1913-03-27

The bill was signed by Acting Govern or Oldham.
 There will be nothing to prevent the commission from going forward done for there is plenty of money in the state capitol fund now and by next July there will have been paid into this fund nearly, if not quite, enough to pay all the appropriations made by the last legislature.
 There is now about $200,000 in the capitol fund and about $200,000 more will be turned into the fund when the county collectors make their settle ments with the state for the taxes collected this year If this not enough to complete the building, according to the appropriation made, at least aa additional $tO0,000 will be paid into this fund during the next two years for the legislature retained the capitol tax, although it was reduced from one half to one eighth of a mill.
 The new act, among other lteus, provides $4O,000 for landscape work on the capitol grounds, asphalt road ways to the main entrance of the cap itol, etc It is expected that the grounds will be terraced and improved according to plans prepared by a land scape engineer.
 For color work on the walls and ceilings of the building, to relieve the glaring whiteness that now offends the eye of the aesthetic, an appropriation ot S30000 was provided.
 An item of $40.000 was provided fir additional marble work throughout the building, wherever possible re- placing the scagliola, or imitation mar ble, which was used in the construc-

plant has been in use, electric fix lures have been lacking and the grounds have been left practically as they were while the actual work Of constructing the building was in prog. ress.
 All this is now to be changed Be fore another legislature convenes in regular session and probably cons.d- erably earlier, the building will stand completed and the surrounding grounds will be put in shape to give the hand some capitol the setting which struc- ture of it's character demands.
 The recent legislature made all this possible by making an appropriation of approximately $432,00 for the com pletion of the building and improve ment of the grounds. The appropria- tion measure carried a total of $500,- GOO, but of this amount, about $34,0OO will go to pay debts contracted by the commission during the past two years, and about $32000 will be required for the maintenance of the capitol during the next two years. The remainder Of the amount appropriated amount ing to s432,S50 will be available for the completion of the building and the Identifying of the grounds. With the expenditure of this sum the total cost of the new capitol will have reached a total of approximately $2,200,00. but this will include the cost of installing new furniture in all the state offices and the cost of improving the grounds surrounding the building.
 The bill making the appropriate for the completion of the capitol was introduced in the recent legislature by Senator John Ike Moore of Helena, who is a member of the capitol com. mission appointed by Governor Dona- ghey The bill went through both houses with comparatively little oppo- sition and no reduction was made in the amount asked by the commission.
