No Act;oe O. Court House.

Attorney L. NJ. Osborn appeared
before the board of county com.
missiouers at their session on
Tuesday as a representative of Vir-
ginia's interest in the proposed
new range court house at this
point, but received little satisfac.
ton from the body-although the
complete falling down of any pro-
ject which would permit dollar of
range money to escape from Du-
luth was not unlocked for by the
people who have lived on the
ranges long enough to know the
traits of Duluth people as a whole.
Mr.. Osborn urged haste in the
matter of appropriation for a site
and in the selection of the same,
stating that the people of Virginia
were not 80 particular about the
cite as they were anxious that a
start be made, sugges,ing that
commission Of appraisers he ap
pointed and a site secured as quick.
ly as possible.
"Ihere was some discussion as to
two sites. block 43 and block 80"
said Mr.. Osborn. "Block 43. how
ever, has been tied up by the new
city charter adopted last June. We
don't care where the building is to
be. though, of course, we would
like to see it in a nice location.
The charter provides that any prop.
erty acquired for park purposes
shall remain forever park land.
That leaves block 80 az the most
suitable site. The county may
buy fourteen lots for about $4,000
and the entire block for about
$4,000. We think it would be ad-
visable to the county to secure
prices on the entire block, and then
select as much as it wants later"
The board, however, turned a
deaf ear to Mr.. Osborn's entreaties
tor haste in the matter, taking no
action whatsoever.
10 many it would appear that
the intent of the Duluth cOnstin.
gent ia to "pIay horse" in the mat.
ter of providing suitable court
room at Virginia, as provided uu-
der the law establishing the range
court, in the proba Die hope that
another session of the legislature
will repeal the law, and the spirit
OF forcing another division fight is
more plainly in evidence on the
ranges from day to day.
