THE COURTHOUSE.
The most apologetic thing that can
be said OF the present City Hall is that
it is " temporary"
The old City Hall was torn down in
1870, and the present one-story struc-
ture was erected for temporary pur-
poses; that is, for use until the new
City Hall was built.
II is 1885, and the plan for the new
City Hall is yet to be adopted.
The temporary City Hall" " sets in
the middle of the block between Ninth
and Tenth streets and extends from
Capitol street to Broad street. A hall
way runs from one street to the other,
and various city officers occupy rooms
on each side of it. The Hastings Court
room is in the southwest corner of the
building. 1t is barely large enough
for the trial Of the most trifling
cases-cases where few people are in
terested. The jurymen, the reporters,
the counsel, the witnesses, the bar,
and the spectators have cramped
quarters in a trial like this. Worse
than all is the noise that comes
from Capitol street and from the hall
way. The court is not afforded that
quiet which is its right and which the
character Of its business and the great
interests at stake entitle it to.
Noisy people should find other places
to disport themselves.
Cluverius is taken back and forth be-
tween the courtroom and jail in car
riage which is hired at his expense.
