ICnowliig that the Coimncii iisulersesiiecliilly

iqmn Mr. Kehwagerl to glean some Informa

jilensaiit iiiitri-s lu tho llond block, corner
Twelfth rind () streets, and nlso willing to en
lighten tt' scrlls) ou the matter of parks nnd
iHiiileviinls.
"Would it not lie diillciilt to projierly plncn

"No, lisUssl, this Is tho wry time when the

"Hut wouldn't this Ik) a very oxonslvo Im

"1 do u'Jt tlilnk so, Tlinro would Ik coin

The Ismlevnrls would all radiate from u com

people of Lincoln should net soou In such n

It is wry foolish to let tho city grow in
u haphazard style ns nt present, since in the
future It will cost many times as much as now,
Tho lsisitioii of tlm city, Isith as mi (slucu-
tloual center and capital, demand that steps
Is) taken Immediately to lienutlfy It, uud by
that means still further advance her material
irosHi'ts, She ought to lie to the state and thu
west, what Washington Is to the nation. Ily
thus early enhancing tho material beauty of
your advantage, the Kople of tho state can
always jwlut with prldo to Lincoln as Its cap
ital. Now is tlm timo to settle ujsm its future
plan of Improvement, which is tlm course
calculated to bring to It added life and thrift,
wealth uud culture.
' Wiiat should lw tho llrst steps necessary In
such undertakings!"
A mutter of such vast Interest and Imiiort-
mice should ho made a subject of careful lu
vestigatlon ns well us thoughtful consideration
nud should cnll out every citizen of ambition
nml sound judgment who ought to carefully
select n few of thuir soundest mid most cultur
ed intellect to net us u coiniultts to make such
Investigation tqiou the ground Itself, uud Into
the subject relating to such Improvements.
They should proceed ndvlstslly and thorough
ly, making their lejKirt tangible, clear, ami
comprehensive. Such a rcsrt would present
tho fact which might lead to further actions
tlio maturing mnl crfcctlng of plans for
adoption which would then lead uud govern
further Improvements, to conform to such
general plans, Tho improvements, ns stated
before, could 1h carrhsl out in time ns the
city's growth, advancement and ability would
Justify.
Mr. Sehwagerl's extensive reputation as u
