says his ofiiee was as much in tli
,, <lai'k i,s '<> the nature of Ihe troubl
? as the passengers kept waiting in C<
J lumbia for transportation to he
eountry points.
The commission, however, is no
satisfied with this explanation an
will have the officials of holh road
here to show cause why the permit
, for violating Ihe rule should not a|
ply. Now the C., N. & L. is operate
by a separate company, but it- d

uaged in ihe nursery business and i
high class landscape gardening. Tli
preliminary surveys were made i

confidence in the judirment of tli
nurserymen selected to do this worl
t"i they have been successful in
number of former large undertaking

b\ the general assembly was smal
but even with this the commissio
hopes to show marked improvemei
in the grounds themselves, and, ,1
was announced in The State a tV
days ago, Ihe contract for Ihe layin
"I certain granite copings and eei
lain walks and approaches to tli
building' itself was let to Mr. John .
Cain, who is very much interested i
the work and will give the slate
j:ood piece of work a< an evidence <
his interest.
This will lie only Ihe beginning c
Ihe work which should be done t
carry out (he designs of Mr. Ju<
Xiernsce, the architect who .lesigi
ed Ihe capitrd building, but the slal
is able at this time to make a begit
ning only. The commission has pn
ceeded in such a way thai the wor
may, in the discretion of the genen
assembly, be continued from year I
year by providing for the completio
of first one part and then another ut
til finally the grounds will be i
keeping with the ureal buildinir i
self.
As soon, therefore, as Ihe season :
propitious, the expert nursery me
will begin lo rearrange the ground
to plant ornamental grasses suitabl
to ibis climate, and to substitul
hardy and graceful trees where othci
should come down.
