Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-07-19

T. +. Bancroft: Put II ewhere between
Limestone and Center audoear the railroad
as possible. The Hardinsrner is probably
the cheaper II /, is not toor from the rail-
road. II would be ridiculto pu, the build.
ing on the old Jail lot.
.. +. Hypes: The mcconvenient place
should be selected, and | ,k that would be
either the Wes, or King Ger. At least the
building should be placedtween Limestone
and Center.
w.. ). Barker; The 0 Republic" build
ing lot is my first choiceut the building
should be between Limesc and Center and
centrally located; don't Mt 1t on the Jail
lot; the Wcst corner wo, be grand site.
Z. K. Richter: Have thought much OF
1t, but where would like see the building
we are not likely to get. shall be Satisfied
wherever II is put. II LIS now like it
would require all Of the sropration to buy
the ground.
@. II. Shuttle: dormant It on the Jail
lot. 1t ought to be ne the centre Of the
city as possible; would fer either corner
OF Market and High becae it would be a
public place and the buildg would appear to
much better advantage an ornament to
the city, and we wonld erid OF some very
poor buildings now occying these very
prominent places. l., the government
building be placed where will be the most
convenient FOR everybody
Capt. Am. Winger: Ireter Book walters
LOT II there is room enout or as near the
centre of business as a sable lot can be Oh
taned. The West corr of Market and
High, il not impractical is desirable To-
cation, or, rather, woul prefer the U. P.
church lot. The Jail lot too far east.
G. @. Fried; Put it pst of Limestone by
all means, on either His or Main streets;
probably on High and Market on either
Vests or Kings corneratter those two To-
cations would prefer aocation somewhere
on Nam. The corner oCenter and High is
too far from the centre business The site
OF the "Old Republic" building should be
considered.
Sheriff Baker II Is ard to tell where the
government building sbuld go. would
not like to have to clim the hill to go to the
post office. A central lcation somew here on
Market should be selecid.
G. P. Remsberg: have not thought
much about it. do1't think the govern
ment and city together ,ave money enough
to build on either Nnt's or Vests corner
but these places 'one nearer being the
geographical centre Of business. My second
choice is the southeast corner OF Columbia
and Market.
James Carson; would rather have it on
the U. +. Church lot. That would be etter
Tor the city, becaue the church people would
erect new churcl edfce and thus improve
The city; so the money paid for the lot would
really be returned in public Improvements.
Ny next choice would be either Vests or
Kings corners.
5. J. Shannon: On the King corner be-
'ause it is most centrally located, and will
accommodate mole people.
J. W. Murphy: prefer the Jail lot, be-
ause it could be secured at much less expense
han any other. Tae building should not 60
rest Of Market.
IL. r.. LobenherZ.
ause Of the free delivery but it ought TO be
entrally located, and that wosld bring 1t
ome where on this block. or in the neighbor-
ood. 1t would suit me If placed on Monu-
nent Square.
T. +. McGrew. jr.: prefer the Boo k wal
er lot, or the U. P. Church lot; but outside
4 all selfish interests, the West or King
orners are the best for all parties. The old
all lot is nconvenient for business men and
be general public, because it would compel
verybody to go there especially, as there are
10 other busiress houses near. The corner
+ Center and High is also too far away from
he business center Of the city.
Z. {. Taylor: 1t ought to be as near the
enter OF business as good location can be
ecured. The southwest corner OF Market
nd High would probably be the most suita.
lie; but now, on account of the free delivery
T mail, it does not make 80 very much dit-
.rence where the post-office my be located
OF so much as il we all had to 20 to the
ost-ofiice. The Jail lot would be a yery
ice location as regards the appearance OF
ne building, and would rather see i, go
here than on the corner of Center and Main.
W. ). Huffman: My first choice is Jones's
orner, northwest corner OF Main and Lime
.one; second choice, jail hill; third choice,
'uthwest corner of Market and High; the
liter is my third choice because it is swamp
md, and it will cost very heavily to make
lie foundation. The main question, however,
to "hustle" the building up, so that work
lgmen can get employment; the work can
; done cheaper now than at any other time,
n there are so many men out OF employ
ent, and they need the work now.
G. 5. Kay: On the West or King corner of
ain and High streets.
j. b. Cartmell: would like to see the
Hiding on Vests corner because of the cen.
al location, and it would clean up the street.
ne old Jail lot would be handsome place
the building, but it is not so easy to be
It at. The corner OF Center and High is too
r away from the center of business. Have
ways considered the West corner as the
ace for the government building.
+. L. Buchwalter: ! have not examined
e different locations; think, also, that the
ice of the different sites should be taken
to consideration, but il suitable place can
had between Center and Limestone streets, |
hink the building should go some here in
At locality.
George W. Emery; There is only certain
'ality for the building, and that is be ween |
inter- AMI Market streets. The West or
Ig corner or the ParssD's corner IN Ui,b
