REN0NsTRANcE AGAINST AN UPTOWN CITY HALL.
numerously signed remonstrance has been sen. into
the Common Council sgainst the erection Of City Hall
any other site than the present The following are
the points embraced In IL:
l. The present City Hal is still above the business
centre Of the city and there is little probability that
business will for centuries far up the island as
to require change in the location of he HALL
The Park is the most and easily accessible
point Ia the city both FOR uptown and downtown resi-
cents and also for vsers to the city from parts the
Union.
g. The centre o. business, and not the centre Of popu

being for busne instead Of domestic purpoes
for the accomrooda ion of business men, and should
be 20 located As TO sy ID all unnecessary travel and all
vexatious and expensive celay.
