the City of Caldwell. He stated that

would be necessary for the owners to
sell the property as quickly as pos
sible, but before putting the same on
the market he desired to suggest to
the council the favorable location and
advantages of the block for municipal
purposes. He called attention to the
fact that the said block was the only
block left intact, conveniently located
with reference to the center of popu-

advisability of anticipating the needs
of the future in this respect and the
results of shortsightedness along this
line by a number of growing cities of
this locality. He named some of the
uses for which the city could put the
property and stated that the owners
