RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, July 10.-(Regular Corre-

In the court house matter? That is the
question of all-absorbing itnerest all over
the county. The City park proposition
seems practically dead Not only is it
thought to be impossible for the city to
legally transfer the property to the county,
but it is known definitely now that only
two of the trustees will vote for it. 1t is
not thought the supervisors will buy the
Arlington or Rowell at any price that is
likely to be named, and to buy any of the
other sites offered would take so much
of the money on hand as to put building
out of the question. without heavy direct
tax levy or voting bonds, neither of which
the people would stand. So the whole mat
ter resolves itself into question of rent
ing. Although the Arlington Is now held
at the highest figure, it is surmised that
It will be offered at the last lower than any
other quarters. But both the Frost and
Miller propositions are so much better, as
regards convenience and safety to the
county records, that the price may not cut
much figure in determining the matter.
