The title to the grounds having been set
tied, Mayor HENRY proposed settlement of
the right to the buildings by paving to the
county 81, in three annual instruments
and tor the purpose CT submitting the mat
ter to the County Board the suit was con-
tinued, and viii be dismissed in case the
proposition is accepted, as We have no doubt
it viii be.
This Court House property has long been
bone Of contention between the Northern
and Southern portions Of the County. and
particularly, between Mineral Point and
Dodgeville, and been the source Of much
acrimony between the citizens of the two
places, and ne nail with satisfaction the
prospect OF d final settlement of the diff
cultles, satisfactory to all parties We ex-
press no opinion as TO what would have been
the result Of the suit for ownership Of the
buildings, but fully believe that the settle
ment on the terms proposed viii prove more
profitable TO all parties than protracted
law suit, which would have unquestionably
cost both the County and City more than
the buildings are worth. and in all proba-
bility, increased the i'll feelings between the
two sections. The City pays all it c. afford
to for the buildings, and the County gets
more than it would have realized, even if
the suit in the end had resulted in it's favor.
We cheerfully ihdorse the sentiment ex-
pressed By the CtroRcls, in the hope that
with the settlement Of this question, may the
animosity existing between Mineral Point
and Dodgeyille cease, and that the citizens
of the two places may hcnceforth realize
that the prosperity or adversely of either
place cannot fail to effect the other. \
spirit of emulation either party is praise
worthy, but let it not be accompanied by
envy or malice. Hereafter let Mineral Point
and Dodgeyille join hands in advancing each
others interests, and that Of the people at
large.
