THE COURT HOUSE NATTER

The county commissioners court have
under consideration the selection of a new
C Durt house site. The LIGHT is impartial
to all the portions OF the city; nOstreet or
neighborhOOd has any claims over the
balance of the city in the selection of =
court house site, the only thing to be
taken into consideration is the general
wish that 10 be located in the center Of
business as near as possible, and that the
site have all the requisites of To-
cation so as to avoid the Objec-
tions raised against the old site.
The question OF cost is an important
one, but should not control the decision.
The plan of securing private donations in
advance of decision on the merits OF the
sites offered. is likely to interfere with
the unbiased action Of the commissioners.
The jail should go with the courthouse;
to have these institutions separated in
different portions of the city is an incon--
venience that must done away with.
