A PROPOSITION FOR CONSIDERATION.
Ed. Booking, Esq, made proposition
to the Board of Commissioners that is
worthy OF consideration. For the use
Tor twenty-five years of the lot on tie
corner Of Monroe and Fourth streets
beginning On Fourth street at the north
side of the steps going down into the
Police Court room and running to Mon
roe street, say about thirty feet, and
extending east on Monroe street TO the
Hildreth building, if the Commission
ers are willing. Mr.. Booking proposes
to erect and iron front, three story
brick building at cost of about $4,000
OF which the county shall have the e1'
elusive use OF the second story for
County Court room, Commissioners
room, Law Library, Wheeling Library,
and such other purposes as ii may de-
sire, Mr.. Booking reserving for hi.
own use the basement, first and
third stories. The second story
il to be connected with the Court House
by a covered way, 50 arranged as not to
interfere With the light of the Court
House. At the end OF the twenty live
years tn. property is to revert to the
county. As it is not probable that the
county will be in financial condition for
at least twenty years to build q Court
House, and as her need OF more room
is growing imperative, the proposition
is worthy the careful consideration We
are sure the Finance Comm ittee OF the
Board Of Commissioners will be sure to
give it. The proposition comes to US
suddenly and before We have had time to
consider it fully, but at the first blush
it looks to u Is il there might be some.
thing in it Of advantage to the county.

down about every fifteen minutes, if he
wanted to, and may be if be didn't want
to, az well. We suppose we saw nearly
.44tDOO persons setting down in various
places on the sidewalk, and heard them
swear when they got up. The day was
quite warm a. we'll a. vet, and the ice
was formed by frost coming out OF the
