A $4,000 Y. vi. c. A. Building.

At meeting of the board of directors
of the Y. M. c. A. of Pocatello, held
Tuesday night, site was selected on
which $25, 900 building will be erected
during the coming season. The ground
on which the building will be erected
has a frontage of rs feet on North Ar
thur avenue and is inst half block
north OF the Bannock hotel. 1t is in
the business district of the city and one
of the most desirable sites that could
have been selected. The price paid by
the association directors for the ground,
which is 75xl45 feet, was only $1,000
This is much less than the actual value
of the land, but in order to assist in Sc
curing worthy public institution. as
Y. NJ. G. A. is, the owness of the ground
put the price so low that the directors
quickly accepted the site in preference
to others that were offered.
An effort is now being made in Mont.
pelier to secure a site for the erection
of $l0, 900 club house by the railroad
company, and it might be well for some
of those who are holding their Main
street property at $50 and SO front
foot to thoughtfully consider the gen.
crosby displayed by the Pocatello bust
ness men in selling their property for
$34. GO foot.
Nothing will retard the growth of
town more than for the owners of real
estate to hold vacant lots at such high
prices as to make the sale OF them pro
hibitive. Under certain conditions it is
perfectly proper to place q high valne
on real estate. For instance, If outside
capitalists were seeking u location on
which to establish a manufacturing or
mercantile institution IN our city, 500 a
foot might not be unreasonable to ask
for Main street property, but when the
erection of public building is at stake
and its establishment by the railroad
depends largely upon the location of the
site, we think il is time for men, espec
tally those who have already profited
largely from the city. to display their
generosity to its fullest extent. We
understand that the railroad officials
desire that the club house be located as
near to the company's right-of-way as
possible, but this fact should not cause
those who own desirable sites in that
section to hold their property at such
figures as to make it impossible for the
citizens to raise sufficient sum to pur-
chase it.
In connection with the erection Of the
proposed club house this fact should be
kept constantly in mind: Evsfy dollar
that the railroad company invests here
goes that much further toward estab
fishing the permanency of Montpelier
as division point II Montpelier doei
not meet the demands of the railroad
regarding site. we understand tina
the club house will he erected at Greer
!. kiver. and Montpelier will have los
forever the opportunity to secure
building which would be an ornamen
to the city.
