by Mr.. Maxwell, who said he wanted
time to look into the proposition.
THE OLD COURT HOUSE, PROPERTY.
The special joint committee on the
old Court House, to which was recently
referred the proposition OF the Knights
OF st, George TO pay $1,000 for twenty.
five feet of the south side OF the old
Court House lot, including the twO,story
brick formerly used as the Sheriif's
office, and that OF w. II. Rlnehart to
pay $500 for the same property, with
instructions To dispose OF that part OF
the property at the best possible terms,
reported q series Of neutrality-suspicious.
for advertising for the sale Of the entire
property in four lots OF thirty.thTee feet
front each the lots to be sold at public
auction August s, and the highest bid
der to have his choice OF one, two or all
OF the lots at his price per front foot;
terms, at least one.third cash, the bal.
ance In two equal notes Of one and two
years, bearing interest at Blk per cent.
This resolution was strongly opposed.
Mr.. seeley made a point oforder that
the committees report was not In order,
because they had otreported as to what
should be done with the particular TWEEN
ty.five feet referred TO 1t. This point
was half sustained by the chair, but the
entire business was knocked out by the
branch refusing to adopt the commit
tees resolutions. There Is no doubt that
II the old Court House property were
put up at auction at this tlmo there
would be sharp bidding for 1t, that
would result In material benefit 10 the
city.
