The Angler property on High Streets advertised
to be sold at auction on the 9th of October and the
question Is again raised as to whether OF not the
city of Belfast should purchase it. 1t is claimed
that the city sooner later must have public
building, and that this Is desirable property for
the purpose Mayor Swan once in his address
to the city council recommended the purchase Of
this same property. The barn and old building at
tached should be removed and The house raised,
which would give ample room beneath for fire
engines while the rooms above could be converted
into offices for the city The rents thus saved
would pay the interest on the cost OF the property
1t is worth while for the city to look into this mat
ter.
