The Stone Hotel Lot.

"lf it was prudent for the County
Court to buy the Stone Hotel prop.
erty, it is prudent to make it fetch a
return to the people by erecting a
building on it that can be rented.
We do not think it is needed for a
yard"
The above is n quotation from an
article in the Journal questioning the
propriety of the CountylCourt author
izing the purchase of the Stone Hotel
Lot for county purposes.
We have but little time to devote
to the question, but we will say this:
l. The lot cleaned Off and made
public lawn would be credit to this
county.
2. 1t would not cost this county
one cent to clean it off, as response
BILE gentleman of this town said that
II the county would purchase the
ground he would clean it of for what
there is on it."
8. When suitors and Jurors attend
the terms of court which come in
the warm season, they could enjoy
their leisure under shade trees instead
of lounging in the stores or suffering
the inconvenience of standing on the
pavement in the sunshine; and while
resting on seats and under the shade
OF trees growing upon ground belong
ing to the county each man could ex.
perience the independence of the fact
That he could re st under the shadows
of his own vine and fig tree-for the
land and trees would be the property
OF the people in common.
4. The editor of the Journal knows
or ought 10 knoso-being a member
OF the law making power of this State
that the County Court has no pow.
er under the law of this State to pur.
chase real estate for reward or spec.
ulation therefore it cannot
follow the suggestion of the Journal
In case it was prudent for the County
to buy the lot.
3. Taking into consideration the
population of the county, it wouldn't
cost the people of this county seven
cents apiece to pay for the lot If the
payment was to be equally divided
between them. But the heaviest tax
payers of this county have to bear
the burden; and we will say that
such taxpayers as the Hon c.. NJ.
Bishop, the Hon. j. G.. McGrew and
VIM. G. Brown, Esq, who
pay more tax in one year
than the editor of the Journal paws
In great many years were highly
in favor of the idea that the county
should own the property. And every
other heavy -yayer to whom we
have spoken in regard to the matter
has endorsed the County Courts &C.
ton in authorizing the purchase of
the property.
6. The sale was not confirmed by
the Court for the reason that Jas. n.
Carroll, one of the heirs, objected.
1t was not owing to the fact that the
Journal objected; but we do believe
that the Journals apparent opposi.
ton to a commendable public i'm.
provement, which would be credit
and an honor to the county, has had
the effect of leading majority of the
members of the County Court to the
conclusion that they will not again
order che purchase of the property at
any price whatever.
Z. We do not mean by what we
have said in the next preceding par

Court.
8. If any occasion demands it, we
will have something more to say on
this subject in the future.
