EDITOR CITIzEN-On March IL, 1900,
the Act of Assembly was passed Great
ing Butler, Co. or rather taking IL from
Allegheny Co. to be formed into new
county. 1t remained attached to the
mother county of Allegheny for judicial
and nearly all other purposes until the
year 1903.
In 1908, March and April, other acts
were passed providings.for this as the
county seat (here at Butler) and the
erection of public buildings, Court
House, and SO forth, and in 1903 we be-
gan doing business on our OWL account.
And now the question is beginning to
be discussed, what is the proper date for
us to have centennial celebration of the
birth of our county? On March IL. 1900
or in 1908? If on the first then we
should begin preparing. If on the sec
ond we need not move in the matter
vet. We would like to hear the opinion
of other citizens of the county. And of
the press of the county. And of
the press of the counties of Beaver, Mer-
Ger, Crawford, Erie, Warren, Venango
and Armstrong, all of which were Great
