up on the site selected.
James H. McShane-I aqNee with. Gibbs.
The city hail should be located on Jefferson
square. Farnam street wants 10 hog every
thing, and IL looks as II she'd succeeded.
What's the good of sticking all our handsome
buildings upon the hill--let's scatter them
over the city.
Elmer Frank don't care where you put
IL, just so You give us a nice building. The
present site is certainly a fine one.
United States Marshal Bierbower-It
should be built right where IL Is, 1t is the
most eligible point in the city, and the peo-
pie have expressed their preference for this
site.
A. NJ. Aiken-Jefferson square should not
be taken into consideration. 1t is not a lun-
attic asylum or a sanitarium, we're after but
a city hall, and q city hall should be built as
nearly IN the center of the business portion
of the town as possible. Let it go where it
i. Brown think the present location the
best and shall oppose its removal.
ID. Rudd-I think Jefferson square the best
location.
G. S. Higgins-I want the city hall right
where the foundation is located, opposite the
court house. 1 shall oppose any proposed
change.
S. H~opkins-Leave It in its present loca-
ton by all means.
w. c. Bodman-I think the present site the
proper place.
w. j., vanarman-Let it emain where it
C. w. Canfeld-I think the present loca-
ton the only one in the city.
L. @. Enewold-I am satisfied with the
present location and would like to see the
building completed.
Hoover g. Watts-We want the building
erected in its present site. This moving bus
mess looks like a job.
sent location the best-it is centrally To-
Gated, is adjacent to the court house, and
is the best adapted in every respect.
A. H.. BehreDs-I think the best location in
the city is the present site and am strongly
opposed to removal.
j. w. Carpenter-The present location is
good enough for me, and l want to see the
building completed.
Ferrall s. Welch-We believe the present
location to be the best for all purposes. 1t is
central, near the court house and on ground
where a solid foundation Is assured.
Fred W. GRAY think the present loca-
ton a good one and would be in favor of
pushing the work as rapidly as possible. /
also favor the securing of additional quarter
of a block of ground on Douglas street for
an addition at some time in the future.
Charles r. Lee-The present location in
my opinion is the best, as the city hall and
court house will be near each other as they
should be. A change would be injurious.
The amount of money invested would be lost
and the taxpayers would suffer greatly.
j.. Il. Wilber-I have not given the matter
the consideration it merits, but the present
location is a good one and by the purchase of
a quarter of a block more ground for use in
the future it would be the most available site
in the city.
S. Arnstein-I think that the building
shonld remain where it is. After expanding
as much money as has been spent, it would
be a piece of folly to abandon it. The prox-
unity of the court house makes it more de-
sirable. / want to see the building completed.
A. Dillon-I don't care where they put it.
James Bonner-In consideration of the
fact that the people voted 10 place it on the
location mentioned, and that u large amount
of money has already been expended on the
foundation, l am in favor of its remaining
where it is, and will protest against any
changes.
Beard & Otis-The present location is CEN
trial, let it stay there.
Gladstone Bros.-If we had our choice we
would say let it remain where it is.
G. J. Conan & Co.-Our taxes are heavy
enough. Leave it where it is and do not i'm
pose additional burdens by abandoning the
present site where 80 much money has al
ready been expended.
William Fleming-I have no particular
choice as to location but before abandoning
the present site / should want to be well sat
isfied that a change was absolutely neces
Sary.
H, J.. Fuller-The city hall and court house
should be as close together as practicable.
Therefore let it remain where it is.
Little & Williams-The people want the
city hall erected on the site selected, we are

change matters.
]. A. Fuller-I think it should remain
where it is. The site is a good one and is 10.
Gated next the county building, and a good
reason for not making the change is that q
large amount of money has been expended
which should remain where it is, too, for con-
venience sake, and in case of a new election
l shall vote for it to remain where it is.
G. A: Weldon-I am in favor of leaving it
where it is.
Il. G.. Ballou-If the present foundation is
not safe remove the building to Jefferson
square. II it is all right let it remain where
it is, and do not lose the amount already in
vested.
S. w. Lindsey should prefer to have the
building erected on the present site. 1t is the
heighth of folly to drop the amount invested
and select another.
Kuhn Bros.-Would prefer to have it re-
main where it is and not make a change after
the large amount expended. A change would
be nonsensical.
Norris & Wilcox-We would prefer to have
it remain where it is.
N. b. Falconer-Let it remain where it is.
County Superintendent of Poor Mahoney-
The building should be erected on the site
selected by the people, and there should be u
stop put to this shenanigan.
County Commissioner O'Keefe-The peo-
| pie voted to put the building on Farnam
street, and their wishes should be complied
with. 1t is all wrong at this late day TO at
tempt to thwart the will of the voters, and
oduulC du duuIpiOuai OapShoS oh bhC laa-
| payers.
Recorder of Deeds Megeath-I am strongly
| opposed to the building of the city hall on
Jefferson square,, or any other structure on
the grounds. They should be beautified and
fixed up for park purposes. The Farnam
street site is a good enough one for the city
hall.
City Clerk Southard-I don't care q tinker's
outfit where they put the city hall. How
| ever, if another vote is to be taken on the Sc
| lection of q site | will vote for KountZe'S add
| dition.
County Commissioner Mount Inn not in
| favor of moving the site, and | think l voice
| the sentiment of the community at large in
saying that the building should be put up at
| once. Delays are costly things.
| County Commissioner Anderson don't
| care where the hall is located. The people
have voted for its site once, and that ought
| TO settle it.
Captain Ijams-I want to see the hall built
where the people voted it to be, There should
| be no more dilly-dallying about il either.
