ALBANY, Jan. 81. 1885.
I think the leading men in this town
are in favor o. the proposed removal Of
the county buildings. A petition for
removal "a. quite freely signed. and II
nothing unfavorable Is developed. and a
reasonable PLAZA is indicated. | think a
large majority would vote for removal.

least. % remove our county bailding'
from their present location. and believe
tia, such removal would no, Be in line
with our bcs, interests. Public senii-
ment here. a. elsewhere. however. IL
divided on the question. some arguing
tha, the advantages 80 fully explained by
those interested in the removal, the piin'
cipAl one being accessibility 10 the rail-
road, arr sufficient cause Coz making the
change. Il Is my opinion. however, that
n our voters ~sre called upon to decide
the matter Al our March meeting. the
county buildings would stay where they
are BY large majority

The leading men Of this community
are opposed 70 a removal Of the eouniy
bgilding.. They consider tina, they have
been hep, in good repair, and are in a
more central position for a majority than
they xould be between South Pans and
Norway. II q vote should be taken It
/. doubtful II 20 from over 100 voters in
this town would favor the removal |
think II any person Is too in6rm TO ride
from South PARIS or Norway 10 Paris Hill
they would be too feeble 10 ,ransAe, bus
iness after their arrival. and such bad
better desis, from sgitAiing the question.
The buildings are sufficiently eonsPiea.
