UNIUN SQUARE.
A City Hall The Free Reading Room and Ii
brary

We are glad to see that Street Com r
Warner is dumping the street cleanings
into Union Square. Last year Mayor
Davenport did a good job there, and we
hope Street Com'r Warner will do better
one this year. By and by the people OF
this city will want a fine building in the
centre of that square, for all the city Offices,
the free reading room and the library.
When the square shall be filed. and shade
trees properly arranged, and the people
feel like building, they will want all the
ground for such building as will then be
needed The building should be solid,
massive three story structure-high stor-
les 1t should be located in the very cen
tire of the square, and set well up from the
ground-with no basement or cellar, ex.
cept for fuel. 1t should have four fronts
exactly alike, fronting each street around
the square. There should be wide walks
from each front to the street, shaded by
trees, and with plenty of seats. in summer
for the people to rest upon. In each o.
the four corners of the square, upon
green plat of grass and flowers, there
should be fountain where water from oul
water works will constantly play. A hand
some iron fence should surround the whole
with iron gates-self closing.
The first story should be used for Polio,
Courts, Police Headquarters, Sup't Water
Works, City Lookup, etc., etc.
The second story for the City Council
with fine convenient Office for the CITY

This is a hurried sketch of what we wisl
the people to consider, and then build wheI
they feel ike it.
Such an Improvement would be an orna
ment and credit to the city, and a grea
comfort to all our people, summer an(
