To the Citizens of the City of Co-lumbus, Nebraska.

Council Chambeb, Feb. 18, 1910.It has come to our attention that at a

meeting held in the city during the pastweek the mayor and council were sub-jected to some criticism for the actionthey have taken in submitting the pro-position to build a city hall and that aresolution was introduced and adopteddeclaring against said proposition. Inview of this, and without in any wayseeking to influence the voteon this pro-position one way or the other, we takethis means of placing lefore the peopleof the city the situation in which thecouncil found itself and the difficultiescontended with in this connection.

To begin with, all seem to be agreedthat a City Hall should lie bnifc. Ourcity has reached a stage where the cityadministration and the several depart-ments should have a permanent andcreditable adminstrntion building. Ourpresent quarters are inadequate for theuse of our fire department in holdingtheir meetings and offer no facilities forthe proper care of the city's records.The Water Commissioner is in need ofheadquarters and, in addition to this, itwas necessary that provision be madefor a city jail, and that at once. But onthis point there is little difference ofopinion everyone concedes that a citythe size of Columbus and as prosperousand energetic as we boast ourselves tobe, should have a city ball. The troubleall arises on two points the cost of thebnilding and the location.

Before passing the ordinance in ques-tion and submitting the question to thevoters, members of the city council vis-ited several neighboring ritiee in whichbuildings nf this character have recent-ly been erected, inspected them and as-certained their cost. In addition to this,Architect Wurdeman was consulted, andhe has prepared plans and drawings ofa building which, in the opinion of themembers, was not only well suited toneeds, but which would be a credit andan ornament to me city, rromine information gained in tins way, we weresatisfied that a creditable City Hallcould be built for the sum of $15,000, andwe have given you our best opinion andjudgement in the proposition submitted.

On the question of a location we havehad our greatest difficulty. It was nota question of North or South with usami it should not be with the voterswhen tt-e- come tndrcide the questionSome think we should have procured asite closer to the business district. Wecould not even secure an offer on a lotmore central than the one selected at anyprice. There wasn't an owner of pro-lert- y

in the business section who wouldput a price upon his property. Severalof our meml-er-s put in the greater partof a week working on this precise ques-tion and were unable to do nnythingmore than we have done. No businesshouse wants a jail next door, nor doesany business man want a piece of deadproperty next to his and that is what abuilding of this character would be.From a business standpoint it is dead.

We want the voters to give the matterof site as close consideration as we have.In the first place it is but little fartherfrom the center of town than our pre-sent quarters. For the purposes of theFire and Police Departments it couldnot be bettered and its convenience forthe water commissioner is apparent.Our bond issue is not half what it wouldhave to be were the City Hall built onthe high priced property in the heart ofthe business section and if the voterswill take occasion to examine the plansand sketches prepared by the architect,we think they will conclude with us,that the bnilding proposed will le athing of which our people can be justlyproud.

We regret that this communicationhas been made necessary, but deem it on-ly fair to the people we have been select-ed to represent to give them the factsleading up to the submission of this pro-position.

Frederic Thompson's "Polly of theCircus," which comee to the NorthTheatre soon is one of the biireeat attractions on the road and carries acar of horseK and the largest scenic production that has ever been at the Northin a good many years. Fay Wallaceplays the title part in "Polly of the Cir-cus." Mr. Thompson, who built thehuge Hippodrome and is the owner ofthe greatest amusement park in theworld today. Luna Park, Coney Island,New York City, has spared no expensein showing thin play on the road exactlyas it was been at the Liberty Theatre,Nov.-- York Oity, where; it piayeur.ve. on,year.

Wednesday the February term of dis-trict court for Platte county convenedwith Judge Tliotuns on the Iiench. Al-though there are a numlier of criminalcases on the docket, it is quite probablethat none will be tried at this term.The case or the state ni;ainst MarinusAnderson of Lindsay, charged with in-cest, will at least go over nntil the nextterm and may lie dismissed at this termas the complaining witness, his daughter,cannot be found. The first civil case onthe docket to le tried is that of JosephZuroski against the Union Pacific rail-road. Last snmmer, while standing onthe North street crossing one evening,Zuroski was struck by a west boundtrain nntl thrown over against the fencearound the park. While there were nobones broken, he was severely shakesup, and is now suing the company fordamages. The term promises to lie ashort one.

Last weekj the Y. M. C. A. BusinessMen's passed resolutionsagainst the proposed city hall bondswhich will be voted for on Tuesday, andthe firemen of the city have now takenup the fight on lielialTof the proposition.At a meeting of the firemen held pre-vious the sentiment was unanimous infavor of the eity hall, and several strongtalks were made in behalf of it. Thefiremen are interested in the proposedcity hall aB it will provide ii permanenthome for the department, and also a firehouse worthy of the city, and reelingthis way, they propose to get out andwork for the lionds. Practically thewhole department, lo a man, is in favorof the new city hall, and they feel thatthe success of the bonds is due them,and Columbus has a fire departmentthat they can well be proud of, therecord of losses by fire since the estab-lishment of the department being lessthan any other city of the same size inthe state.
