LOCAL MATTERS.
The City Hall Site.

The Dispatch is anxious that this ques-
| tion should be thoroughly discussed be-
fore the cornerstone OF the building is
| laid, so that the community may feel that
the right site has been selected. To that
end the following expression OF a council
man is published; to that end any proper
article in favor of the old site will be pub
| lished:
THE committee recently determined that
no change should be made in the location
Of the new City Hall-yiZ., that OF the old
site with DR.. Tupper's property added.
"This settles 1t. The committee has
spoken. 1t docs not matter that the old
! Swan-Tavern lot is the one the people
want, the lot the City Engineer recom-
mends, the lot the Mayor. after consulta-
tion with our wisest and most public
spirited citizens, recommends; the lot
which, il improved by the new hall, would
give such an impetus to contiguous pro.
perty rs would add thousands OF dollars to
the taxable property OF the city; the most
commanding, most available, most conve-
nient, and finally the most economical lot
which could be selected. The Swan-Ta-
vern lot is most commanding because it is
on the crest OF Shockoe Hill, the plateau
bounded by Eighth and Ninth streets,
Broad and Marshall being the highest point
on that hill. 1t is most available because
the land is covered only by frame build
| ings Of the cheapest kind. 1t is most
convenient because the street-cars pass and
repass every five minutes, bringing every
section of the city in immediate connection
with it, thereby avoiding in bad weather
any walking to reach the city officials. 1t
| is the most economical because the entire
site will not cost the city over $4,000,
while the old site, with DR.. Tupper's pro-
perty, will sooner or later have to be add
ed to by the purchase OF the church pro-
perty, and will cost not less than S15, 200.
Surely 'the committed will not contend,
after having visited the northern and west
ern cities, that a city hall can be built on
the old site, and adjoining the church, OF
the same architectural beauty as one on the
old Swan-Tavern lot. III it does, the
money spent on their trip was as useless as
i; the bank-notes had been thrown into the
James river"
1t may be added that the Swan-Tavern
| lot-running from Broad street TO the
alley, from Eighth to Ninth-is good
deal larger than the old City-Hall lot, DIR.
Tupper's, and the church-ot included.
The Council committee can have but one
desire in the premises-to serve the city in
the best possible manner, looking not only
to the present but to the future.
1t must not be supposed that the COM
mittee are unanimously in favor OF the
old City-Hal lot. On the contrary, ma
| jorty Of them are now believed % be OF
the opinion that if the Swan-Tavern lot
can be obtained at price not eXorbitant
| that it should be bought. 1t is understood
| that the price asked is about SG5,O00.
DIR. Tupper's lot will cost 100000; the
old City-Hall lot is probably worth So, 900,
which. il correct, would make the Swan
| Tavern lot cost the city $4,000 more than
the other; but there would be at least Il
| third more ground.

The funeral OF Carrie Griffin. a Young
colored girl, took place yesterday morning
at st. Peters Cathedral ut 10 O'Clock. The
building was crowded almost TO suffoca-
ton, many being attracted by the rarity Of
such an event as the burial OF colored
Catholic, the number OF colored people OF
that denomination In this city being rather
small. Very Rev. Father Van De vyver
celebrated requiem high mass, read the
burial services, and preached sermon
fitting the OCCASION. At the conclusion OF
ceremonies at the church, the remains were
taken TO their last resting-place, followed
by large procession.
