AN EXTENDED INTERVIEW.
The Herald Scribe Secures the
Views of Many Interested
Citizens on a City
Hall.
A Desirable Building to Have.
Knowing tho general interest felt in
the matter of a city building in Platts-
inouth, a Herald representative t ok an
interviewing tour up and down Main
street, bent on getting the views of the
leading business men he should come in
contact with. The same question, "What
do tou think of a city hall for Platts-
moutli?" was put to all, and replies were
received materially as follows:
F. Gordcr: "It wouldn't do any harm."
J. A. Connor "In what way, that is,
lirect tax or subscription?"
'Direct tax."
. "les, that would be a good thing, an
advantage to the town in many ways. I
3
favor it."
II. C. McMakin: "That's the very chick
er. e ou eat to put up a nne one a,,
000 one. Put it up in some prominent
tlace and let out the first floor and it
a
would be almost self supporting."
J. C. Eikenbary: "It's . a very good
idea. Buy the Patterson corner (Sixth
street and Pearl) and build it there."
J. A. Davies: "I'm in favor of any
thing in the line of public improvement
a public building."
R. B. Windham: "I think it would be
a good thing; in fact, it would be econo
my. The citv is uavinir rent and
that would be done away with, and
hall would probably bring an income.'
W. K. Fox: "Tho town has all the
t.ixes it can stand, considering the city,
state and county taxes. The bonded in
debtedness is now $149,000 at 6 inter
est, and any heavier taxing I should not
favor."
3. Waugh: "I had not thought of it,
but I should not favor the building of a
city hall for the town does not demand
a building exclusively for such a pur
pose."
F. Herrmann: "All right, it is Just the
thing that's needed; especially if the city
oiices and fire companies be combined,
with offices on the second and third
floors and hose rooms on the first. Jt
worked like a charm in my town(Water
town. Wis ) It's a place about this size,
and much poorer, but a city hall of three
stories was erected and the scheme was
exceedingly successful. The building
would be kent onen all liisrht for the
nolice. and the fire aparatus could be
handily reached."
J. W. Johnson-. "I should be in favor
of it; I think it would be a prcper thing
for for the city to erect a building to ac
commodate the officers, and a jail. Some
oeoolii have too extravagant an idea
about such a thing, but to build it
economically I would favor it."
J. M. Patterson: "I would favor such
a building; it would be a good thing for
the city."
Matnew CJeriijg: "It a the most mag
uiheent scheme imaginable. Though
not a tax payer myself I would be
willing to eive something. I favor
the erection of a city hall in any town.
You see, it not only saves expenses rent
etc. but it enhances the value of pro
Dertr. and casts a shade of beauty and
enterprise over the community. $25,000
ia such a building on, say twenty years'
time, would really amount to nothing to
the tax payers. The city ofSees should
be cemented together. This idea of run
ing here for the clerk, there for the
treasurer and somewhere else for the
mayor, is sluvenly.. The offices should
be together, with office hourg for each
official, and telepkonie connections. Jf
desirable the building could be made
self sustaining with store rooms."
F. Carruth: "Oh, I think it a good
thin". It is icmethin'r that has been
talked of for soma time; the lava ought
to have it."
A. B. Todd: "It ought to be built, but
the ouestion is. can the city stand it? It
has about all the indebtedness it can car
ry. If we can assess year t full
valu.- (a provided by the biil ifx thf
legislature), it can be done nicely."
Peter Merges: "I think it a good idea;
of course the town is quite heavily
bondi d, but the taxes from each one
would not be much, and the good to
come from such a building would- more
than compensate fgr the cost. We will
not re ip unless we sow, noiico (bat
where a town is ready to expend luo&ey
for public improvement, there the people
and capital are ready to locate."
Byron Clark; "J U a feasible move,
and a city hall is. necessary o transact
city business. The clerk has the most
imporant and vital records to keep, but
he has no place or means to keep them.
When I want records I have to ga fish
them out of some old box, bring them to
my office (which I have no right to do)
ind look them over. The proofs in the
case of A. E. Alexander vs. this city I
found in an old waste-box unlocked
and all insecure in the council chamber.
The box is still there tontnjng many
valcable proofs, ordinances, etc, l they
have not been used to kindle fires. The
contents of thai: box should be stored
avay in some secure yault. A city build-

fort as an ordinary dress waist, it will
give the same elegance of contour as the
heaviest board corset in the market,
while the stays are so arranged that they
give support to nthe back and apine. aui
in nowise interfere with the freedom and

ing ia just a necessary at a city officer.
The actual bonded indebtedness for pub
lic improvement is only $96,000; the
high school bonds are not under tin
head of 'public Improvement'."
Thus the Herald representative can
vassed among some of the men of our
city who should and do have intelligent
ideas on this matter and are able to speak
on the advisability of executing the idea.
As near as able w haye bought their
thoughts o our readers a given us, and
are convinced ourselves that Plattsmouth
can afford a respectable city hall.
A visit was paid to the "waste box"
Mentioned above, and found ic to contain
papers of almost every description, ap
plications, resignations, plenty of old
bills, communications, etc. Most of them
were dated between 18j$ and 87. One
paper seemed to be a real relicj it was
the oath of office of Schaol Director
George Boeck, elected April 6, 1868.
The document was legalized by a United
fifties internal' revenue stamp of five
cents name as U documents were then
required to bear as '-'dutyJ,.and tore the
city seal. Another was a bill allowed to
M. B. Murphy for services as city marshal
from June 5th to July 5th 1869, for $25
and an &$tra caim of $9 for attending
council nine night,
The boys have it "on to" .a couple
of Third ward brothers today. They
room together and early this morning
oue of (hem wake the other and said,
"t,he shops are ou re jsgain." The other
listened and heard be deep cf of the
9 o'clock whistle, and of course it sound
ed like "fire" and ho replied.. f 'Jejss get
there" The father heard theia and
warned them that it was only the 5
o'clock whistle, but one replied, "Oh,
no, I heard them short blasts," and soon
bott WBB vanishing from the house in
the darkness, wub rubber boots
and coats, making straight for the shops.
It wasn't long, however, till the door at
tjjeir home opened quietly, and two fel
lows stole 4p etjrj to bed. Their return
would hardly have been obejred by the
family, but for the energetic kicking of
themselves they indulged in, as they
pad through the hall.
