Exchange Building.

MyssRs. EprroRs: "Old Citizen" in
his communication yesterday, throws
some light on the subject, and, as be
seems to be posted, he will excuse me fol
being little inquisitive.
he says our clever townsman W. A.
Bickford, about twenty years ago, OBJ
tanned from the city authorities ninety
nine years lease of Exchange Square.
This is good for Mr.. Bickford, but q
hard thing on the Square.
Will "Old Citizen" now inform us
rho the city got its right from to lease
out, for private purposes, Exchange
Square, or any other square in the city
AS to whether there is any record Of
this lease from the city to Mr.. Bickford,
in jackson, Mississippi Montgomery,
Alabama, or any other city outside Of
Shelby county, / do not pretend to say
as / have never looked for it, except in
the Registers Office of Shelby county,
Tennessee. I say no such paper dp'
pears of record in the Registers office
of Shelby county.
When ''Old Citizen" shows that the
city of Memphis has legal right to lease
out her public squares, then he will have
furnished the information desired as be
will no doubt be able to show the exist
ence of some kind of contract between
Bickford and the city, Notwithstanding
the records of the county are silent on
the subject. 0SE OF THE PUBLIC.
