DISTRICT BUDGET
 WILL BE SI60,OOO
Water Department Asks Legal Advice on Handing Over Assets

Hartford Feb. 24-Tho first metropolitan district commission budget for the fiscal year 1880 calls for an appropriation Of $160O0O oi which $7S,9OO Is for new construc- ton; S62,500 for maintenance of the bureau of public works; $1O.20O is for a contingent fund and s1S,400 represents the fixed charges an1 running expenses.
 No tabulation has been made of the proportionate share which cash Of the five towns in the district must pay toward the general appropria- tion. In some instances the budget Of the district calls for work which is also covered in the city of Har.- ford budget in the highway pro- gram. The district award for sew CTS is much higher than that reconl- mended by the board of finance as the street boards appropriation.
 The budget for the city will come before the council tonight for 43- tion. The district budget will prob- ably be submitted to the district board at it's next meeting for ratifi- cation.
 Tax Will Be Higher
 The Hartford budget include S Sl5,000 as the estimated tax pay able to the district commission. The actual tax which the city will pay will doubtless be more.
 For running expenses and fixed charges the district board of ii- nance recommends an allowance of $l6,400; divided as follows: regional plan commission, S2,50O: counsel, SLIGO; district clerk, $3,150; execu- tive secretary, s2,50O; treasurer, s9.- 150. The proposed contingent fund IS SlO.2OO, making a total of s23,- GOO in the first section of the bull get program exclusive of the main tenance appropriations for the pub lie works bureau.
 When consideration is given to a suggested contingent fund of s1U,- 200 and to the proposed appropria- tions for the bureau of public works. 1t is intimated that Hartford's pro- portion of the general district lew will be much more than s15,O0O.
 While the district board is ready to function by taking charge of the water department, the water com mission has asked legal counsel for a statement concerning it's powers and duties i'll transferring tho finan- cial and physical assets to the board. In the interim the district board if proceeding under the pro- visions of the act providing for 'ts establishment and work.
 Bookkeeping Problem
 The question involves a matter Of bookkeeping as the proposed Hart ford budget for 1880 calls for eX penditures duplicated in the boards budget, especially in reference to the street department and public works bureau.
 For new sewers, the district bud get calls for $5O,OOO and for sev,r s23.500 is provided. The city budget allows only S1S,009 for new sewers and repairs.
 The Hartford budget calls for $45,o0o for the street department for culverts and inlets In the pro- posed district budget S26,50O is designated for maintenance of cul- verts, surface water catch basins, with S1S,90O for new culynrte or,, catch basins.

The next commemoration of Columbus is in
the colossal bronze door leading into Uncle
Sans great public reception room, the ro-
tunda The door, which is 19 feet high and 8
feet wide, is divided into two leaves, each of
which is composed of four panels picturing
scenes in the life of Columbus. The outside of
each leaf is adorned with a single star Above
the leaves is lunette-shaped transom, which
shows Columbus landing on San Salvador. This
massive bronze door weighs approximately 20 600
pounds, or 10 tons, and 1t cost the Government
$4,000.
ME Columbus door-the most famous in
America-compares favorably with the
world renowned F1orentine bronze doors
There are three of these doors in the Church
Of the Baptistry of st. John in Florence
Italy, the most celebrated OF which is the
center door completed about 1890 Its panels
illustrate scenes of the Old Testament. Lorenzo
Ghiberti, the artist, worked this door almost
80 years. Mchelangelo once said it was
worthy to be the portal of paradise cast
Of Ghiberti's celebrated FIorentine doors is in
the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington, where
1t presents an interesting study when COM
pared with the Columbus doors of America.
The F1orentine doors are almost 500 years
old and larger than the Rogers doors and they
are previously stated in a sacred edifice
The Columbus DOORS however, are SO delicately
wrought and finely executed that they bear
doors on any public building in the world
In 1862 this artistic creation was placed in
the pasSageway of the old Hall of Representa-
hves now Statuary Hall, but in 1871 Congress
decided TO remove 1t to a more prominent
location. Its present position was chosen and
the Rogers door now properly constitutes the
main portal from the grand portico into the
rotllhda
The most popular panel of the Rogers door
shows Columbus mounted on horse before the
convent Of La Rabida. This is the wishing
scene" and because of it the door is some
times called the wishing door, There is a
common superstition that good fortune viii be-
fall all those whose fingertips fall easily on the
three designated spots-the bald head of the
monk, Perez; the letter he is handing Column
bus to Queen Isabella and the toe of the boot
Of Columbus. This formula is simple: Make
wish, then open the right hand spreading
the fingers fanwise. Rest the index finger on
the letter and II the thumb falls into position
on the boot and the httle finger ON the monks
head, the wish viii come true. It Is q sure
sAgn, they say, that the young lady tourist will.

an Indian girl awed by the sight of the white
man. The head Of Columbus was modelled from
an original bust of the explorer found in an
art museum in Spain The arn1or is copied
from the suit the dauntless admiral wore when
he discovered America. But, despite these
authentic hkenesses, this statue is not univer-
sally popular. 1t is stiff and lacking in the
inspired imaginative treatment worthy of the
historical significance Of the subject
The Discovery Group was executed in Spain
by Luigi Persico and was placed in its present
position about 1884. A later Congress became
dissatisfied with the statue which had cost
$4,000, and in 1850 there was talk of removing
1t to less conspicuous site, but nothing was
ever done about it. The sculptor was born in
Naples Italy. He came to Washington about
1925, after his genius had been recognized by
Rembrandt Peale. The statues of Peace and
War on the east portico of the Capitol are also
works OF this sculptor

the anniversary of the discovery of

anew their interest in the life of the fearless
admiral who led his band of SO adventures

few feet from this marble statue one passes
through the magnificent portal known as the
Columbus door, which leads into the rotunda
Of the Capitol This door, sometimes called
the Rogers door and the Wishing door, is the
most elaborate door in the Capitol and it is
said to be the most celebrated bronze door on
any public building in the world. 1t depicts
IN alto relieve historical events in the life of
Columbus.
Inside the rotunda hangs Vanderlyns famous
picture, THE Landing of Columbus" and on
the wall Of the gallery floor of the Senate lobby
we find Heaton's inspired painting, THE Recall
Of Columbus" which shows the downhearted
explorer receiving the letter of reconsideration
from Queen Isabella.
Americans may well be proud Of the fact that
three Of these memorable works of art were
executed by native artists-Vanderlyn, Rogers
and Heaton. The fourth artist Persico, was an
italian.
FROM careful study of the history of the
early art Of the United States Capitol it
appears that the struggling Nation could not
afford to squander money for art works The
necessities had to be provided first Such appro-
priations as were made for art dealt with sub
jects closely related to the history Of the
Republic and not to allegory or mythology.
Naturally, them Columbus, the discoyerer of
America, was among the first to be COM
memorated in art in the Capitol
