VIEWING THE SITES
The Public Building Sub-COmmitte'
Gathering Facts to Report.
LOTS THAT ARE DESIRABLE
1t Is Not Ascertained What the
Owners Ask for the Property,
But That Item VIII Be Attend
ed to Later and reported.

Messrs. Patterson and jerks, the sub
committee appointed to ascertain wnat
sites in Butte would be suitable for
public building and what they would
cost, began their labors yesterday and
visited "a number of sites which would
be suitable. They have not ascertained
what the owners would charge for
them, but will ascertain that before
they draw up their final report.
The committee concluded that they
should not go more than two blocks
from Main street in any direction, and
should have a lot of not less than 100
feet frontage and 10 to 120 feet deep.
Larger dimensions than that are pref
cradle, particularly in frontage.
The first place visited was the Thorn
ton lot at the northwest corner of
Broadway and Wyoming streets. This
location is closer to the hotels and and
to the city hall than any other and on
the whole seemed the first choice OF
the committee.
The next place examined was the
northeast corner of Broadway and Wy
oming streets, which is also a very de-
sirable location. 1t is the Roach prop
erty, and is directly opposite the Nc
Dermott hotel.
The committee then went to the
corner Of Park and Wyoming streets,
and looked at the Lavelle and McMil-
Ian lot at the northeast corner, and at
the old Clipper Shades site at the south
east corner With the old shacks and
beer halls cleaned out, these would be
very good locations, but the bad lands
would have ITO be moved block or two
farther south.
ifftaa then went west OF
Main street and looked at the Kemper
| lot, south of the public library, facing
| on Park street, where the skating RINK
| is now This was only log feet deep,
| which seemed the chief objection TO IL.
| The lot of Mrs. Morier, east OF the IL
brary at the southeast corner of Broad
way and Academy, was examined. A
frontage of $50 feet can be OBTAINED
there, but a depth of only 105 feet. The
| property of Morris Brothers, at the cor
| ner of Park and Academy, east ol
Kemper's property, was examined ano
regarded favorably.
One of the most favorable sites ex'
amined was the old pavilion at the
northeast corner of Alaska and GranNe
| streets A depth of 220 feet cam be ob
| tanned here and "a frontage OF from lO'
to 125 feet. The committee was inclined
to regard this place as Its secon'
choice, the Thornton property belni
first.
The lot Of James A. Murray and w
p Gwin, at the southeast corner
Main and Granite streets, Is very de
sfraIble lot, but the committee thought
being on Main street, it would be hell
TOO high by the owners.
The people of Butte will, of course
have very little to do with the selection
of the site Various places can be OF
fered, but the government will send II
own men to pick out the location an
will offer what it may consider fai
price, which may be accepted by tn
owners or not, as they please IN
committee will, however, ascertat
what the various suitable sites can o
obtained for.
