chase of q cheaper site. He was fur
ther confirmed in this conclusion be-
cause of the problem of providing Tor
sittings Of court, the transaction OF Of
fetal business and the preservation OF
the records while the new building
proposed new site, he thought that
the interest Of the county would be
subserved as well in one site as in
another, practically anywhere in the

migit efgect Individual interests, ad-
versely, the town as q whole would be

John r. Hart said that from all the
information he had been able to OBJ
tain, architects and, other experts are
agreed on three requirements In con-
nection with the location. In the first
place, 1t was desirable to get away
from the noise of ordinary traffic. In
the second place, proximity to q rail-
road track should be avoided and In
the third place, there should be corner
lot frontage. He was In favor OF the
F. E. Smith corner lot; in the first
place because he thought this location
would be Of personal benefit to him
and in the second place because II
answered all the other requirements as
well as any other location to be found

building on the present site. nr

Wilson property (old jaiD, across the

to be secured after the present site. !.
Mr.. C. K. Chritzburg Of Rock Hill,
thought 1t would be found to be the
part of wisdom to build on some loca-
ton away from the present site.
Mr.. ]. D. Clark said that If the peo-.
pie in the country had been told that
there was q likelihood Of changing
the location they would not have voted

to see the new building erected on the
present site II there was room enough
but he did not think there was room
enough. ....... r .:pF. -.

ther away from the business centre"

offered SO much room.
Mr.. G. G. Eaves thought that inso-
much as the postal receipts OF York,
Vile had reached a point that entitled
the office to be raised to the second
class and inasmuch as the government
usually provides itself with buildings
for such offices, 1t might be well to try
to preserve the present site OF the
court house by means OF mortgage or
otherwise for the site Of govern
ment building that would probably be
erected within the next two years or
such a matter. ...y ,E.... ,.-l-
