Alderman White said their had always
been 4 doubt on a question about the pubic
square known as Hyde Payk and Il w.,
bad policy 10 buy property where tas
was the case. The Thir. Tard
had never received any VI he
municipal pie, not IN officer no; building.
not anything. now in simple justice lie
asked that the city hall and market be bD..
in the Third ward on the Casey * Swa,ty
property.
Alderman Barter said that HYDE Para
had been donated to the city for park b..
be reserved. This was a valuable point for
the city if the hall and market were built
on the Baptist church property. Wagons
could stand on the streets about hgte
Park.
Mr. Mics threw bombshell into The Is
cussion. He said he saw By the map INA!
one-half of four lots owned b. Mr.. Bailey
jutted into Throckmortou Stree.
leaving that street but ten feet wide, Mr-
Baily had come before the coute.:
several years ago urging the expenditures
5000 to buy property 10 open Iurockn0F-
ton street, as he understood il. from end ~

donate the portion of the lots to open
ThrOckmorton street, he did not believe -
proceeding further.
Mr.. Armstrong favored the purchase o.
only twenty-five feet on Monroe street u
complete the city's block. he thought th-s
would be sufficient. He wanted u
build on the Baptist church property o.
cause the property had prospectus
value. He thought it unreasonable 10 asa
Mr. Bailey to give bonus in the way o.
one-half of the four lots iuttins mo
Throckmorton street. He thought "a
courts could determine whether w,
Bailey had title TO the lots san
to be in Throckmorton street. lie con'j-
