Tor public use as a market square on con-
dWion that II should never be sold or
alienated by the city. In isS5 the act was
amended so the city could use the block for
market square and for other public pur-
poses Since that time the city has con-
structed upon It building for its fire de-
partment city ofhces and city jail.
Now the city has bought the old govern
ment building for its city hall and II Is
about to move its city ofices TO that place.
Apparently the city has no further use
for the ground. But the state historical
society which is now occupying rooms at
the State university has come up with a
bill to appropriate $4,000 to erect a one
story and basement fire proof wing on one
corner Of the block and the remaining
part of the block the city of Lincoln wants

times with respect to the responsible.

tons. Speaking to the new board OF
trustees, on the occasion of his cleo.
tion to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life In.
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
