But now let your Uncle Satiricus
make suggestion or two. Why not
irstead of burdening ourselves in an
extravagant manner and imposing
an unnecessary burden on those who
come after us, let posterity be in
some degree judges OF what they
Want and can afford to pay for Our
county officers think they are cramp-
ed for room, and doubtless they
would like us to run in debt for a
new court house to the tune of 4
hundred and fifty Thousand dollars
or more; but if our county commits
sioners are wise they will manage
to build wing on the present build
ing with a cost, including the neces-
sary ground, of not more than fifty
thousand.
Some of our boosters think we
need another city park-posterity
again. l think real estate specula-
tion is at the bottom of the scheme
in large degree; but If, instead, SEN
timent and desire for civic better
ment is the real animating motive,
let them deed the land to posterity
free of charge or incumbrance for
that specific purpose and make their
profits out OF the increased values
of other property surrounding it just
as we did with the present magni
ficent city park and the property re-
served at the time for the city hall
and public library.
| And, as to this proposed high
school building. l hope the school
directors will conform to the new
law both in spirit and in letter. Let
them build well within it's limits 30
that whatever building they plan,
not draft will have to be drawn on
the future beyond the permitted bond
issue. They can easily provide for q
wing to be constructed whenever It
becomes absolutely necessary. Lei
them in a way emulate the example
set them by that large committee
and the library board which. acting
together, put up the new hbrar!
building. Here was an enthusiastic
body of ladies and gentlemen espe-
cially anxious for civic bettermen'
aid the needs of posterity, as well.
But they carefully considered their
limitations with the result that we
have a very fine public building
which can be enlarged any time in
the future so as to ultimately ac-
commodate a city of 10000 people.
And vet so determined were they
conform exactly to the authority CO
ferred upon them by the donors
when it was completed from base
ment to dome precisely as planned,
and every bill paid for the cost OF
its construction they had severai
hundred dollars left in the treasury
with which to purchase books and
other supplies.
Very respectfully submitted.
SATIRlCuS.
