THE CITY HALL GU ESrIOS.
The Suggestion of tho "Democrat'
 M.etInH With ANDrOYAl.

Meeting With Approval,
 The suggestion of the DEMOCRAT that it would be wiser to erect q building west of the City hall, to be used for court rooms and offices, than to make the proposed alterations in the hall, has set people thinking and without much doubt the plan is the most popular one yet offered.
 A we'll known archite.t said to-day that a handsome three story block could be built for an amount little if any in excess of what will be required to make alterations Tn the old hall. The front could be made to conform to that of the present building and instead of having one badly cut up building we would have tv O handsome structures with ac- commodations for all purposes. The same authority declares that the altera- tions proposed will cost more than most people beli we. Upon this point gentleman who knows from experience says: "One contract out of one hundred of this kind will not hold good After beginning the work, it will he found necessary to diverge from the original specifications and then the extras will begin to accumulate and the origi- nal contracts will be found not worth the raprr upon which they are written :" Another gentleman declares that he vii! be one of four to lease the upper portion of the city hall for $l ,0OO year, and adds that this amount will pay the interest on the new building which he would like to see erected. If the altera- tions are made, the building will be weak ened. there will be no large hall Ill which to hold town meetings and the revenue from the upper story of the building will be sacrificed.
 Why not exchange the Bronson library property for the old cemetery and at once settle two important questions?
