A Matter for tho Consideration of the
Board of Education.
To The Ed tor of tls REGISTER:
SIR:-Au important.mat :er that has long
been in the mind of the subscriber has at
last assumed that prominence that it ap'
pears t, him 10 be duty to call the at:en.
ton Of those interested to tie subj set,
snd by this pub lefty to give thu citizens
an opportunity to express their several
opinions concerning il. Without further
preface, STATE that the scquisition of the
old Court House prep ,rty by the Board Of
Education for Library purposes is the
matter referred to. Thu property men
toned is two lois and good building for
the purpose stated. This property has
been put up at auction twice, the highest
bid CD sainei being $l2 500, which all will
agree is no price at all for it 1t is hardly
ne esssry TO call attention t. tie sdvIn-
tsges offered By soaring the property,
but among them wi state:
A suitable building for the purp,se,
detached, excellent light, ample
room for oil the offices needed in connec-
ton with the ednc tional board, and in a
situet on a few steps from the business
portion Ct the city; at the SINE time in a
quiet loCa ion, the last being very valua.
Bile consjderst ion, if not n. cessity for an
ics tuition OF this hind. TIE cut 'ay for
changing the partitions and otherwise al.
tering the internal arrangements, and
taking off the oupola-( that monstrosity
which has marred the appearance Of the
building ever since it was buili land the
general repairs that may be needed would
not be heavy one, and would pay in the
end. A comparison might be made with
the present library quarters, but it ia
thought hardly necessary in this iatroduc.
ton of the sahjsct, as the charge would
not be OILY comp irstively good.
We have many public spirited citizens
who have the welfare Of the people al
heart, hence it Wo1ld not be matter fir
surp-ise if this public spirit took the form
of desire to contribute valuable works IL
the library, or art treasures to a depart
ment that might he added. There is nc
iuducement 70 do this now, the Library be
ing in rented rooms without fixed ABIDE,
and nothing permanent aboat it.
Gentlemen Of the City Council and OF
the Bosri of Education, 90 not let this
oppor,u 1ity Of comforting q boon on the
people of this city pass. You have 1t in
your power to stay this sacrifice now, and
such an opportunity will never be pre-,
scented again. This suggestion is made
cot without due consideration of the
financial co 1dition of the city.
