THE OLD COURT HOUSE.
Committees of Council and the Board OF
Education Confer Regarding It,

Committees of Council and the Board Of
Education Confer Regarding 1t.
The special Joint committee Of Council
and the subcommittee Of the Library
Committee of the Board of Education met
last evening in joint session in the office of
Clerk Hall, of the Board of Education.
Capt. G. J. Rswling presided, and the
question CT transferring the old Court
House property to the Board Of Education
for library was discussed in al its bear
ings. Capt. Rawling and other members
of the Council committee thought the
Board should have the property, but they
could give no information as to what price
Council wonld accept for the same, but he
felt assured they expect fair compenss-
ton, and that the transfer would be made
under no other conditions.
Mr.. Miller then said he didn't suppose
the city would turn over the property for
consideration of 81.
Mr.. Farrell Thought the Board ought to
rent the property. He would be in favor
of giving it 10 them at a lower rent, with
the understanding that the Board make
the necessary changes and Improvements.
He could not name what he considered
reasonable rent just then.
Mr.. Robinson thought it would be
good idea to give the Board lease for a
term OF years at fair rent, and also give
them an option on the property for tve
years, and if they desired to purchase IN
that time they could do go.
Mr.. Miller said he would like to see the
Board own the property, and other men,
bers of the committee felt the same wey.
However, neither committee had any au-
thOrity to make a proposition, and on mo
ton of Mr.. Farrell it wss decided to meet
on Monday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock and
make an inspection Of the building and
premises, which would give them better
idea OF what sort Of proposition would be
reasonable. The meeting then adjourned.
