Besides that the new bank building is TO
cost 1906, 900 and that Is pretty big build
ing for this city, and 1t Is the general be-
lief that 1t will have one of those new
tangled elevators in II, and they are always
dangerous. A boy was killed in one Of
thom here Just last year. The building is
also to be so high that IT will be impossible
to tell tho time OF day by the sun by a
person standing on o street in front OF
the bank in the afternoon. So, Of course,
there are some who take the stand that
such buildings have their drawbacks.
Mr., Harpham of the excise board be-
lieves with Mr.. Burnham that he should
be permitted to have that sign, and so one
of them made the suggestion that the city
was being run along lines too puritancal
That statement has caused the breach to
widen. The persons against whom the
charge was directed desire 1t to be under
stood that this city is just as tough as it
can be and 1t has tough" incubators at
work all the time and It is clamorlng for

II was in very bad form for Mr.. Burnham
to disturb them with such an unheard OF
request as that for sign board. The re-
quest should have gone to the City I'm
provement society.
These men are working for-An ideal city
In which men may live and have their be-
ing and enjoy Hfe. and considerable feel
ing has been aroused against Mr. Burnl2m
because he mentioned such thing as a
$1,000 bank Building. The request smacked
too much Of oommercialism.
So the flgh. continues with sentiment
about equally divided. Brother Is arrayed
against father, father against son, and II
II were left to vote tomorrow whether
Lincoln gives up that bank building or
stands for the sign board 1t Is very doubt
