on Public Buildings confer with the Board
of ConmissionSrs of Ohio county, and as,
certain upon what terms the one-halt of the
! Capital building can be disposed of to the
county.
Speaking upon his resolution. Mr.. Hill
dreth said he was in favor of keeping the
project alive; although there was at present
a committee on the matter. He was heartily
in favor Of getting the county into one
half the building, even if they were to go
in free Of charge.
Mr.. Caldwell was not in favor Of going to
the capital building, or at least not perma.
nently. The building was a most expensive
one, and he thought it would be far better
for the city to sell the present State House,
take the money so secured, the $l0,0 900
so muni6cently appropriated by the State,
and that sccruing from the sale of sand
from the property at present occupied by
the city, and then erect a new city hall on
the site of the ark. The capital building
was too much Of AN elephant.

off in his statements. The city was pay
ng heavy rent for the use Of buildings scat.

TINY to gather the government all under on
roof.
