man takes this means to give to those
who signed the petition for the reten-
ion and Improvement of the market
place the following: The accounts
made public by our good friends of the |
are rather the chronicle of
he comical parts of the meeting, which
nave been conducted in a very informal
way.
The bare facts are, that Governor
9rear, upon first receiving the petition,
rave the committee the assurance
that the building would stand" He
llso showed a great deal of interest in
he plans, etc, and hoped that the Art
league would succeed in the financing
If same. He was present at the
Town Hall entertainment, and ex-
pressed his regret that he could not
ign a petition which was, with others,
addressed to himself He explained
he powers of the Legislature and Pub
ic Works Department to our commit
zee.
The Supervisors, upon being present
ID with the petition, informed the City
Improvement Circle that the building
vas not under their control in any
way, but assured the Art League that
hey would be pleased to help in the
of the place if the same
anne under their departments, and
lsked to be informed upon this mat
er.
We have replied, and described the
needs, which we think their depart
nent could easily supply, these being
he dressing of the two parkings, wings /
md drive connections.
