Some More Decorators.

Of flags, streamers, arches, arbors, green
cry, etc, and everybody is entitled to cred
it,-but our reporter attending to that
branch of the celebration thinks he ought
to have noticed the following:
At the residence of Mr.. Channon. on
Broadway, three arches, one facing north
another south and the third facing
the street. They were all very pretUly
trimmed with leaves, flags, etc, and on
the arch facing the street was a picture OF
Washington. 1t presented as pretty an
appearance as any in town.
At the residence Of Joe Hammond. on
Rock River street, east Of Dock, an arch
over the gate, aud decorated with red,
white and blue drapery. leaves, etc, and
bore thu inscription, The little Ratchet,
under which was the date 1772 1t at

At Michael kane's, on Orleans street.
two perforated gas pipes were put up, one
about ten inches above the other. In the
daytime these were decorated with leaves
eyerereens, flags, etc, but in the evening
| the decorations were taken of and the ga:
turned on and lit, making q very brigh
! display. 1t each side of the gate the
! pipes had been arranged 50 that when Ii
it would show a bl'zing cross, while on TIL

Considering what devious ways aldermen have
to pursue to get iuto their present council room,
Il strikes us that they ought to clear the passage of
baby carriages and furnish themselves and the
puollc witha little more light. Union
The council made a great mistake in
moving The room is too small; is poorly
lighted and without ventilation; the
entrance is narrow and the stairs are steep,
and the passage leading to the room is
so dark that it has to be lighted by gas
all day-the cost of which is probably equal
to the entire rent Of the former large, well
lighted and we'll ventilated room. The
cost Of the present place is thus more than
that of the old place, and it is not worth as
much by hundred per cent. THE AR
GUS warned the council Of the mistake it
was making, but, led on by AID. Carse
and others, the council put its official foot
into it bad and increased the expense to
the people.
There is only one redeeming feature
about it. The present place is so in
adequate and so uncomfortable that it will
hurry up the day when we are to have a
fine building in Union Square for all the
city Offices and the public library and
reading room, By the way-what is to be
done about that $4,000 raised under DR..
Cats administration for Il building fund
and which a Republican counsel gobbled
and used up illegally? That money should
be restored to the fund from which it was
! illegally distracted and expended 10 laying
the foundation for the building. When
that is done then similar sum should be
raised and expended every year until the
building is completed
Suppose there was handsome building
in the center of that square, fronting the
four sides of the square, and containing ali
the city Offices aud the library and reading
rooms? And suppose there was neat
fence around the square, and a fountain in
each corner, and walks, and seats, and
shade trees? Wouldn't ii be nice? 1t
would be frequented by many hundreds of
people every day, and in these hot even
ings the seats aud the fountains would
give comfort to many hundreds Of our
sweltering people And all this can be, in a
very few years,if our city council will begin
and carry forward the work, The town
would gain much 10 the estimation OF
strangers by bringing this about. And al
our people would enjoy it and take a pride
| in it.
