The suggestion made first by the
Morning Telegram that the city build
city hall on its property adjoining
the public library and donate to the
county 100 feet frontage adjoining on
the west for a court house has met
with ready response by officials and
public
Mayor Norton, who is also county
recorder, said today that the need for
a new court house is imperative. So
far as the recorders business is con-
cerned, the time has come when twen-
ty people are crowded into a room not
large enough for half that number,
while the crowded condition of the
room keeps all in poor health, and
he has seriously considered whether
he would care to remain in the Of
flee if obliged to continue in the pres
ent quarters.
The four lots which the city owns
and which it has been suggested be
presented to the county for the court
house site, Mr.. Norton, as mayor, de-
clares to meet his ideas of the ideal
situation for court house, believing
with the Press and the Morning Tele-
gram, that public business, like pri-
vate business, should afford easy ia
cilities.
City Trustee A. w. Swanson alsC
gives approval to the proposal, as dc
many other prominent citizens.
The lots referred to are in the very
heart of town, where the public of
fees could be reached by everybod!
without difficulty, and are situated a

sideration of the question of Thaw's
admission to bail postponed until the
conclusion of the pending habeas cor

City Officials Favor
Civic Center Project
For the State St. Lots

a man might locate his private busi-
ness if he wished to come in close
contact with the public, and while
being located on such a site, the pub
lie buildings being grouped together,
there would be tendency to fix the
center of the town for all time, thus
benefiting all interests.
1t is believed the lots are worth in
the neighborhood of $4,000, and it is
believed that donation by the city to
the county would be appreciated by
the people of the ntire county.
1t is not proposed that the county
become eXtravagant in the matter of
a public building, but that structure
on lines similar to the Masonic tenn
pie be erected at a cost of about $780,
900, the city hall to be on the same
lines, with frontage of 25 feet, and
to cost probably $4,000.
By carrying out the local policy of
building the arcade over the sidewalk,
this would give 40 feet in depth for
the ground floor and 152 feet for the
second floor. With city hall frontage
of 25 feet and court house frontage
of 100 feet, there would be all the
room either city or county would need
for many years, If the time should
ever come when the county would need
more room, it could buy the city hall
and new hall be provided elsewhere.
/ The Press and Telegram will be
pleased to receive communications on
this subject from citizens in all parts
of the county, for it is an issue that
the crowded condition of the court
house demands be settled now.
