part of the location for the federal building.
Had Capital Hall been on the only desirable
site for this building or had the government
deemed the purchase of that property neces-
sary for the purposes of the proposed con-
struction, it is not at all probable that such
action as was obtained Monday night would
have been had We believe the town would
give this property to the government rather
than, by its refusal, lose the building. Now
this proposed site has its advantages and its
advocates, as disnterested as the friends of
other sites, and as matter of fair play and
of justice to all we think it would have
been right to vote to sell the property,
should the government finally conclude that
it must have that particular place. 1t by
no means follows that vote to sell is
sale. 1t is only putting another site, which
has its advantages into competition with
other sites which may have greater or less
advantages than this one. SO vote not to
sell is, in fact, a vote to take this site out of
competition and to force the consideration
of other sites. The town does not want or
mean to take any such position. 1t would
willingly sell to secure the building, and it
should give the government fair chance to
negotiate for any site it wants, and the
friends of this site n fair cbance with the
friends of any other site. Especially should
all partisah spirit oe put unuer Ioot IN thls
matter and an effort made to allay, rather
than stimulate, local antagonisms which
may be inevitable, but which it is, neverthe-
less, desirable 10 avoid
