WHERE

Figures Pertinent to
City Hall Question.
Greater Property Valuation North
Of Buchtel Ave.

One of the members of the city coun-
Gil who is opposed to taking the
City Hall so far south made the follow
ing statement to a reporter for the
Democrat Friday: "It has been figured
that the center of the business district
is near the Central Office bullding,and
n glance over the records at the audi
tors Office seems to confirm It, And
some of the members of the board ond
council say that the corner of Main

ter of population. Admit, for the sake
of argument, that 1t does, and stretch
lines therefrom east and west. divid-
ing the northern and southern parts of
the city. On the south are a small
part of the First ward, about two
thirds of the Sixth ward, and the
Second, Seventh, and Eighth wards
On the north are about three-fourths
of the First ward section of the
Sixth ward. and the Third, Fourth and
Fifth wards.
"The business men and hundreds of
others claim that the City Hall shoult
be as near the central part of the busi
ness district as possible, and claim tha
the bulk of business Is transacted north
of Buchtel ave, and that the propert!
north of this line far overbaIances tina
south of Buchtel ave. Here are some
figures which show this:
