The north half of the capitol building
Mr.. Maxwell moved that the resolution
be stricken out, and upon this proposition,
Mr.. Petereon took the floor. he said he
was surprised at the evident concert of &C.
ton on the part of the country members
against this proposition 1t was certainly
matter which would further
THE BEST
of the county. There was no doubt in his
mind but, if the plans of the architect be
carried out, the county would have as good
a building as could be had by selecting q
site and building q new house at a cost OF
100000. The building was well built,
reasonable in price, centrally located, with
ample accommodations for the county's
business for one hundred years to come,
and he was satisfied the proposed
change was in accordance with
the ideas AMI wishes of q
v,ry large majority of the citizens of the
county. Some day, if the county would
agree to move, the city and county would
own the entire square bstween Chapline.
Eof, Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, and
tie location would then be better for gen.
ersl county and city headquarters than
could be acquired anywhere else within the
city limits. He earnestly asked members
not to cut the throat of the project just as
it was coming into life.
Mr.. Boring followed in the anne strain,
f. SAYING he was satisfied that four-6fths Of
the people favored the change.
Mr.. Maxwell spoke in support Of his res
olution. BE made the claim that
THE I WAS NOT AUsPICIoUs
for the incurrence of the large debt which
would be necessary. He made the point
that the building was an 'old. pstched-up
affair, only built for q m~ske-shift," that it
was not desirable for the city and county to
occupy the same house, that the same loca.
ton was not convenient, and that q MAORI
ty of the people did not desire the change.
Mr.. Stoker vas Opposed to a partnership
arrangement" He thought it would be
better for the county to buy the entire
building.
