Another meeting was held yes

who have the city hall-court house
proposition under consideration
The matter was gone over further,
and 1t was decided to get definite,
reliable information of the financial
condition OF the city and county.
the taxable value OF property in
both divisions. etc twas also voted
to hold d joint n eeIing with the
board of county commissioners
next Monday to see what those
gentlemen thought of the matter.
IT is proposed to move carefully
so that no flaw may be found i'll the
PROCEEDINGS. Two attorneys, Hon.
M. r. Gilbert and David S. Landon.
who have been named as members OF
the consulting body, will see that
every step taken is sanctioned by
law.
The meeting Monday night is ex-
pectci to determine finally
whether or not the scheme as pre-
sented will be promoted before the
people. lfthc county board declares
not TO so into the arrangement TO-
secure a new court house, the city
win 80 into it alone. But 1t is be-
lieved the commissioners will think
fayorably of the plan, as new court
house and county Jail are much
needed and the manner of getting it.
is feasible in every respect.
The idea Of building the city hall
and eolrt house together is not
unique. IN Chicago the city hall and
court house are built that way. OF
cofaSae the eatS and Nv|tiIsy property
Is separate and distinct, both ground
and building; but the buildings are
SO constructed that they seem as
one and constitute an imposing
structure.
The present court house ground
is held by the city under a deed from
the Cairo Trust Property Co., on
condition that IL the ground shall
ceased to be used for court house
property tho ground shall revert to
the Trust Co. 1t is believed that, If
the scheme proposed shall meet with
favor by the county board some
arrangement can be made with May
or Parsons, who now represents the
Trustees, by which the city will not
lose all interest in the property,
