Capitol site plan and Packingtown comparison prompt voter decision
A proposal outlines financing a state capitol via land sales. It details 40 acres reserved for the capitol, 1 960 acres to be subdivided into eight lots of 25 feet to yield 15 680 lots at 300 each, totaling 4 704 000 dollars with 470 400 dollars in commissions and 100 000 dollars in other expenses. It argues the Capitol location would boost demand for lots, contrasting with Packingtown results and urging voters to act rather than delay the Guthrie cry to wait.
