DISCUSS FEDERAL Bull DING SITE
CitizeO's Meeting Wednesday Evening
E0Qoges in Warm Debate On the
Proposition.


officer of the secretary of the treas
ury, arrived in the city Tuesday
morning for the purpose of looking
over the various propositions for a
site for the proposed federal build
ing for this city for which Congress-
man Bede secured an appropriation
of $4,000 at the last session of con-
gress, and reporting his findings TO
the department.
On Tuesday afternoon an inform
al meeting was held at the council
cha amber, at which a small number
of citizens were present, but in con-
sideration of the fact that the meet
| ing had not been advertised it was,
upon motion, decided to adjourn
until the following evening and
issue dodgers calling for meeting
of citizens at the Fay Opera House,
| and the mayor was instructed to
appoint a committee to look up and
report on various sites at such meet
ing. Such committee was composed
of Messrs. Reid, Elmquist and
Hughes. and together with Mr..
Bond they visited several sites of
promise the following day, making
their report at the meeting Wednes-
day evening.
This report as read by Mr.. Hughes
noted the following sites and the
prices thereon:
Currey- Cotfey site, six lots, $ll 600.
Jetford site, six lots. 1920.
Viking Hotel site, five lots, $500.
Central School site, six lots, $6, 500.
Roosevelt site. seven lots, $lO.5W.
Other sites reported upon, but on
which no definite proposition was
in shape for submission were at the
corner of Cleye!and and Maple, at
the corner of Central and Chestnut
and the Fay Opera Block. This lat
ter site includes five lots with an
alley on either side, and its central
location appealed to many, but the
price as given of $3o,UO prohibitive.
These various sites elected con-
siderable discussion among the sew
eral hundred citizens present, the
Roosevelt site apparently having
the better of the argument and
greater number of champions, al
though an undercurrent of feeling
evidently exiated that the building
should be placed at some point
offering greater convenience to the
business public than any of the
sites proposed on which figures
were obtainable. Asked whether or
not the government would condemn
property in order to obtain suit
able site, Mr.. Bond stated that
practice was not made of so doing,
and the government would not do
50 unless it was found necessary.
A motion to ballot upon choice of
sites as proposed was voted down
and aside from the discussion and
expression of views of perhaps
score of those in the audience Mr..
Bond gained no information as to
the proba BILE choice of the people
of the city, and any recommends
tions he may make are problematic-
al 80 tar as known.
He has Canvassed the situation
from disinterested viewpoint, and
it is to be hoped may submit a re-
port that will insure the erection OF
the building in a suitable location,
one not too far removed from the
business part and one which will
yet be central after the city has at
tanned the anticipated growth Of
double or treble its present popula-

Rather Unique Contract.

We beard the other day of an
agreement which, considering the
calling of the parties thereto, was
rather unique contract. A color
ed Baptist mlpister III an adjoin-
ing county contemplated holding
q revival meeting, and engaged a
brother minister of the Methodist
persuasion to assist him. The lat
ter was to receive So per day for
his work, if they had good meet
Ing. Sixty-seven names were ad-
d.. d to the church roll, but the
hired parson remarked afterwards
that he took "perticular" pains to
get his 50 every night.
