The act veto ed. w^iile a local measure, is of general interest because of the reasons given bf Governor Blease for his disappro val of the act and by reason of the interests affected by the whole matter. % The act was entitled, “An Act to Per mit the City of Columbia to Buy a Tract or Tracts of Land Situate near the City for the Purpose of Establish ing a Public Park” ■° *T think it should be more properly speaking.” said Governor Blease. “en titled. ‘An Act to Enrich the Colum bia Electric Railway Company’s Own ers and to Increase, the Value of Cer tain Property Through Which This Railway Will Extend Its Lines in Go ing to This Proposed Park and Pann ing Around Through and Going Bnck Over Other Lands Owned by Coitnin Parties.” Governor Blease - states that tho tract of land which it Is proposed to purchase for the park under the act is not worth anything Ilka tha. money that they are speaking of paying for 1L and furthermore, “if the perk ia established there, is will be ao far out of the city that the. poor people of the city will never he ahte te en joy It* “For instance, a man who has a wife and four or five children. It will cost him 50 or 75 cents to get out there and back in order to spend an hour or so of pleasure.

Senator Crouch pointed out' that the rates for commercial advertisements would vary according to the paper and he thought that the measure should be amended to make It equi table. The bill, be said, was a good one. Probatory the best speech made on the floor of the senate this session was made by Senator Weston of Kichlhm}. speaking in favor of the McLaurtn warehouse bill that passed the legislature two years ago and was declared unconstitutional on technical points which havV. it is said, been eliminated from the present measure. Senator Strait of Lancaster made what is perhaps the second best speech of the session, ‘alho in favor of tho bill. Both speeches were nota- ble for their viewpoint rather than for anything else. .
