Armory and City Hall.

In selecting site for the proposed
armory for the Rodman Rifles and for the
Offices of the city government, eligibility of
location is the main thing to be considered.
The proposed bnilding ought to be cen
trsi, substantial, of ample size, and ought
to have q frontage on two streets.
1t seems to me that in all these respects
Mr.. David Dop's property on the corner of
18th street and Sd avenue, tmeets the ac
Quirements better than any other location
yet mentioneda 1t has a frontage on two
of the best streets in the city, is in the
geographical centre of our population and
is convenient of access. assf5-z3
Now if Mr.. Don will make the city
council and the Rifles a fair proposition, [
believe the majority of our citizens would
favor his lot as site for the proposed
building. At any rate it will not be wise
to use undue haste In the selection. The
matter is of too much Importance to the
people of the city to be determined hastily
and without full consideration.
Mr.. Don's lot is in the heart Of the lead
ing business section Of the city and I un-
derstand that he offers it at a fair and
reasonable price. Let its claims be care
fully considered. CITIZEN.
REMARKS: Vs.
We agree with the Citizen" in thinking
the matter Of an arnory site is of too much
Importance to the people of this city to be
determined hastily, especially if the city
itself Is to be connected any way In the
erection and occupancy of the building.
The offers thus far made do not indicate
as favorable terms for the Don lot as is
desired on the partof the Rifle Company,
and unless eligibility Of locality" is con
sidered to greatly preponderate in its
favor, terms offered by other parties would
probably considered by most people as
much the best. .Es hre Vn~5
Mr.. Don's lot is only 100 feet detp and
is held at $1,000.
/ Mr.. Davenportis lot, fronting the Court
House, 60 by $50 feet has been offered for
$4,000, a considerable portion of which

street aud 3rd avenue Ga by l60 feet il

| The Arnold lot (Elat Iron Square) 6(
by 100 feet is offered for 81 600.
Thus it will be seen that quite number
and variety of pieces of real estate arr
offered for consideration, and the commit
teee 10 charge have considerable latitude il
choice of location. Moreover as citizen
says there is no occasion to act hastily,an
the choice when made should have due re
gard to the future as well as the presen
wants and uses of the parties concerned
THE ARGUS does not desire 10 be under
