COUNTY GROUNDS.

Last Fall the Board Of Supervisors
submitted to the people of Wapello
county the question of whether they
would purchase suitable grounds for
the location of public buildings. 1t
carried by . large vote in Center
township, but was Overwhelmingly
beaten in the balance of the county.
We desire to raise this matter thus
early, that it may be thoroughly dis
cussed ; for we ask that this question
be again submitted this Fall. The
reason why we want this question dis
cussed and again submitted lie, that we
regard it as an economical project for
the county to now buy grounds. which
it MUST have in the near future. We
trust that it is the pride of the people
Of this county that its county seat
shall be second to none in the interior
of the State, as q beautiful, thriving
city, and as business and commercial
point Further, it is growing a.
rapidly as the most favored city in the
State, and bids fair to have no superb
or in the race for population and
wealth.
Ottumwa, to-day, furnishes . mar
ket to the farmers, and place to buy
cheap goods, that cannot be excelled
in this State. We say we trust that
the people of Wapello county have q
pride in the growth and welfare of
this city, and we further trust that
they desire to see, at NO distant day,
commodieus and beautiful Court
House and Jail erected here, and that
they shall not be cramped up on just
ground enough for them to stand up
on, but that they shall be located upon
ample grounds, which will admit of
adornment, and furnish room for out.
houses. sc. That the present Court
House will much longer be sufficient
for the purposes of the county, We do
not believe; we feel certain that q
very few years will demonstrate this
to the satisfaction of everybody. The
Jail ought now to be condemned ; 1t
absolutely will not be sufficient to hold
the prisoners much longer. These
buildings were erected twenty years
ago, when our population in the whole
county did not equal the population
OF this city, now. The buildings are
becoming old and unsightly.
Admit, then, as it seems every man
must, that we shall soon be obliged to
build new buildings, is 1t not the best
policy to purchase the grounds noac?
The city is growing rapidly, property
is rapidly going up in price; a good
site for public buildings would now
cost, in place convenient and suit
able for them, no uncomfortable sum
of money, and we venture to say that
whatever they might cost this year,
will be added to in the next three
years from forty to fifty per cent, or
even more. The fact is, the suitable
sites for such buildings, are fast being
taken up and so occupied that they
cannot be bought in time, for their
cash value, because people will not
want to part with them and, again,
they will be so covered with buildings
not suitable for the county. that they
will have to be paid for, and then torn
down, thus making great additional
expense. We would be glad to hear
reasons given why we should not now
! purchase the grounds, ii any there are,
Md we hope the people will discuss
thsequestion thoroughly.
