BACK CAPITOL FENCE

w. J. Coelho, translator in the land
commissioners office, called attentiop
to the fact today that enc OF the need.
ed improvements about the capitol
which the Legislature might well con-
slider is the moving in of the King
street fence around the capitol
grounds.
IF a person will stand at the Rich
ards streets corner and look down
King street." says Coelho, che. will
notice that the fence bows out to
quite an extent, forming a narrow and
dangerous area Eext to the car line.
In my opinion the fence should be
moved back not less than 20 feet, thus
adding TO the beauty OF the grounds

street. II is in line with the big con.
struction work which the federal gov
ernment plans to do across the street
