City Hall Matter.

Editors of the kennebee Journal:
have carefully read the different COM
municstions in regard to building for the
city offices. think no one will dispute the
fact that the city Of Augusta has now and
always has had the poorest accommcdt
tons for its city officers to be found in any
city Of its size ard importance in New Eng
land. Now about the Savings Bank build
log and the proposition Of J f. Deviue
Concerning the former think We should
have very poor accommodations in that
building for the amount it would cost and
not half Of the departments would be suit
ably provided for.
But perhaps some will siy that half Of
q loaf 10 better than none. That may be
% in some cases but this seems to be case
that 7, ,quires 8 whole loaf or. zone. Al
the city officers shou be under one roof.
think Mr.. Devine's suggestions are good,
but perhaps there may be better ones to
be considered What 10 the matter with the
lot the city already osns at the east end Of
the bridge? A lot 90 by 80 feet. Here is
q saving Of $1,000. to start with and futth-
ermore . building would be more of an
ornament to the city on this lot than else
where, ~ it would not be he mined in wilh
high buildings On sit sides. 1t would be
easy Of acc s. and all Of tbs sdysnrags,
that could be had at the west end Of lte
bridge could be had there aud 5000 saved
besides. Respectfully,

Editors of the Kennebee Journal:
Nv esteemed friend, Ex-Msyor Lane
.snts to kno~ il would not t,own my
place Of busipess rather than hire it. ''if it
was as cheap to own - to hire" In answer
let me say that although long engaged in
business here l hsve never owned place
Of business and never wanted to. never
believed it was as cheap to own IS to hire
am encouraged in this view from the fact
that the gentleman who claims to own the
Savings Bank Building, large real estate
owner, ed his Offices out OF itsSApoR
as he owned it, into quarters which he
hires. But do not see tie force or sppli
cation Of Mr.. Lanes question in the form
in which he puts it. His question
grants the whole point IN dispute
the question Of economy. l deny
that this city evsr can, under any cifcam-
stances, ownas chesp as it can hire quarters.
l deny that any city ever did. Cities do
indeed own buildings. for good reasons, but
never on ground Of economy alone. Mr.
Lane also asks II l really mean that for
many years the city has occupied quarters
entirely sstisfsctofy. Ifeply, yes, entirely
satisfactory to the tax payers who pay the
bills. =
Mr.. Lane also wants to kaov il, in the
fire in Granite Hall. city papers were MT
destroye ed, l have inquired and | an it-
formed that the papers 10 the vault were
not destroyed. and were noI Nirreparabiy
injured. But do not know what this ques-
lion has1 1so do with the eoniroversy. Thst
vault would seem 60 be ou, VI the dispute.
With regard to Mr.. Lanes other questi~as
a. TO what quarters may be had, other than
the savings bank building. aud at what
price, can only say, that it is understood
that the owners of Granite Hall have offered
to restore that building with refer
ence to city quarters, and that
other quarters may be obtained
in other parts Of the city, il satisfactory
arrangements cannot be made With the
Granite Hall people. What want to insist
upon is, the extravagence and un'imeliness
Of the purchase Of any such building as the
Savings Bank building. 1t is not such a
Quilting as is required BY the city, and it
can never be made to be. Ultimately 1t
vould have to be sold and Q larger
one obtained. With many public i'm
prove ments postponed on account Of
present burdepsome taxation, with our
reefs in . condition which are disgrsc-
70 the Capital of Msine. and which would
not be su H red to continue in country
village. Without sewers, without culverts,
without drainage, without schoolhouses,
with these and other grsat and perplexing
questions presenting themselves TO this
municipal administration, what = spectacle
would this city government present to the
tax payers who have charged them with the
disbursement of the public funde, sitting in
solemn deliberation and voting to spend
ten thousand dollars for an uosuitsole
nlding in order that the city treasurer's
office nav be behind plate glass window
oa the n.st floor. When such . thing
Happens we m,y reasonably ilquire ii the
co..iss sion Of lunacy is not spreading from
the institution acroes the river.
