THE OLD ROOKERY
Must Go and a New City Hall Take
Its Place.
Il is Suggested That the City aud County
Join Issues and Erect a Joint Bald
lag for Public Offices.

In the trend OF events which have
transpircd In Astoria within the past few
months, and In view OF the bright future
before the city. one OF the first public
improvements that should receive atten.
tlon at the hands Of the corporation Is
an adequate city hall, or official head
quarters Of the city government. said
Mayor Taylor. yesterday, but just how
Il Is TO be accomplished. or the means
provided, Is not clear TO my mind"
The remark led to some Investigation
and II was learned that the present site
Of the city headquarters can be sold ana
the proceeds used for new building.
The lot Is worth about Si5,eO0, and the
sum would make good start towards
a new city hall
MORE ROOM
Is sorely needed. and location might
be- secured further from the center OF
business where land is less valuable and
suitable building erected, in conformity
with the growth and Importance OF the
city. The town hall. or business office
OF city, Is always. In any community
one OF It's ornaments. and the Gerater As
toria should not be behind the rest OF
the world In this particular at the present
crisis in Its history. No doubt, with
iinanclering on business principles, the
means might be provided. and II is GER
taiuly one OF the most important pro-
jects before the commonwealth,
THE OLD RooKERY.
Has served It's day, and the time is now
ripe for other and better quarters for
the official home OF the city. A leading
banker, In reply to an inquiry, said that
he considered the plan feasible and sug-
gested Jnat the county and city might
join hands as had been done in other
county seats, and utilize the present site
OF the courthouse for joint city and
county headquarters and court building.
The plan would lessen the expense TO
both the county and city. and provide
n building that woud he an ornament TO |
the city and u pride TO the county for
all time. A new court house is neces- |
sity and the plan suggested Is worthy
by the authorities.
