After n few introductory remarits by tin chairman , Mr. Huseall took the floor and on teied Into an explanation of the clrcum sUueos connected with the tuestion | of th building of n city hall. Ho said Unit tin question was one of expediency. If the sit on Fat imm stieet was sold It would realise ; largo sum of mone\ . and those funds wouli be sufficient to pun.li iselhe Jefferson squat * silo and leuvo funds in hand to go on with The direction of the lute contemplated strue turo was itregjlar in every puticular , am if wo weic going to build a city h.il wo must keep p.ico with ICans.it CJlty , Uhi cage , St. 1'aul and other largo communities The lequhemciil- the cit\ demanded central site. The Jefferson sipi.uo site away and ubovo anything else that had beet suggested. It was just the place foi tlio cit.v buililmu. The Faniam street , site was select ed to build a city hall from the Moyor's plan at a cost not to exceed S'00,000 , and it wa : evident that a decent building could not built for such a sum , Mr Andrew Rosewater , ex-city engineer , was loudly called for to give his opinion upoi the question before the meeting. In responsi Mr. Uosewator s ml that he came to th' ' meeting as a taxpajer simply , and as such h would oxpioss his opinion He never wa' ' jdontilled with an , movement that hud been invoked for the securing of imv puticulu site for the cit } nail , : md he was perfectl1 , free from bias and could therefore honestly give an opinion that might be of service to tin citi/cns generally London had her gren conleisandsquaiesParis , her Ch imps Ulj sec , Now Yotk her Hioadvv.iy nnd wo in Onialm had our Fariium stiect. Th.it was her great hormighfare Sixteenth street was the iividiiig line , north and south , and no poi tion in thpcity , in his oinion ] , offered sud advantages as did the Faiium sticet bite Mr. Haascall had suld that the question must be settled bi the citi/ens. "What do wo sei to inchti" said the speaker ; "just about one bundled men present out of our gre.it citi/cn population , How many who advocated th Jefferson street site were disinterested i H ventured to say that a gro.it nropoi tion had private interests at stake Wo aic to inquire to-night if this effort made to locate the city hall on Jefferson square is the spontnncoir of a popul.u desiic" or if it urosu from inter csted mdiv iduals [ Interruption and hisses ] The citi/ens have at a pievious election de cided upon the Painam street site ; there can 1)0 no dispute upon that point. You seek to change this site , What guarantee ha\o we that if the question were decided tomonow that the next day some one might not tun : round and get up a petition pi , ij ing for n icconsidci.Uion of the question , upon the grounds that the opinion of the cit'/ens ' lind uot been f.iulv tcstck' The selection of the Jefferson Squnosite would be no settlement of the question. " Mr. Ucdm.in asked Mr. llosewater if thoio was anj doubt as to the praetibilitv of build ing on lots Si and ft. "No sir. " loplicd Mr. Hoscwator , "thero is none in the woild. In all the large cities 1 know of , their city halls are all built in the center of trade mid suiroundod by lingo buildings. " ( Jhicago ami Cleveland weto particularly alluded to by the speaker , Con tinuing Mr. , Hosowatoi said that any man with n giain of common sense would not bo such a fool as to say that a city lull could not bo built on Fninatu Htroet. "if Fnimnn shoot is Impracticable for our purposes , " said bo , "whv do jou submit it to the people in .sour lesolutions' If tl.is sue is totally unlit , why invite a vote ) Every ono knows that the New Yoik Life and Tin : Hun build ings are strictly llrst class. Now what is there to pi event a llrst class city hall upon a site that is actually twelve feet larger than tlio ground which the New York Life insur mice building is erected upon I Omaha has pr.ictic.illv tw ieo sigmlied her desire for the r.irnam stiect site , and jot it is thought to assist at the ovoithrow ol that deliberate opinion. If wo do this wo bieak faith with the property owncis on the street , who , upon thu stiVmgth of this building being put up , have largely invented in real estate and in other directions " During Mr. Uosowater's speech General Kstttbrnok said : "May 1 ask Mr. Kosowator if over the site of Jefferson square was sub mitted to the people or not ? " "No , general , " was tlio reply , "it never was. Twelve . \eais ago Webster Binder proposed to erect a building on the square , with a market house in the basement mid n city hall on the top. but bofoie over the bar gain was milled Mr. Huydor took fright and ran away , and jou know it takes two to make a b irgam " At this point General Kstahrook remained standing. Ho was requested bv the chair man to resume his seat , but failed to no so , at which the housa lose at him ami yelled , "Sit down , " wheicupon the gullunt ofllcer resumed his scat. Fiom this period until the close of the meeting the speeches worn upon entirely personal matters and affected curtain sentiments held by the speukeis towards the editor of Tun HISIC. Mr. WInspear said Mr. Itosuwator had "or- dorod" that the county building bo placed n hoi o it now stood , and It was so. Mr. Hosuwator was a man of great resources , and he know that to locate thu county build ing opposite his pi opcrty would enhunco its value. He had plunged the city into $100,000 , expense for retaining walls , because ho wanted the grade of Furnam street cut down. Mr. Itosown'or was tireless In his efforts to accomplish anything ho had on hand Ho caught the people napping and then ho sprung the Faniam street situ upon them "I siii | | > ese , " suld the speaker , "if we don't look out ho will get John MrSluno to huvo the postoftlco located on the hill , " lr. Mercci didn't ' appiovo of the Fainain street site because it Included in its plans thu city library in the name building with the Jull.General General Katabrook wunUid the Jefferson square uito selected because ton teams passed the Kstabrook block to ono that went up Par- nam street during the day , Ho supposed that something llko the same devices had boon at work to sccuro the Ftirnum street location us were brought to bo.tr upon a cer tain biblical personage to go up on to a high , hill , and view the surrounding country Tha point of this joke didn't strike the audicnro , for when the speaker paused for the laughter to follow thu remark theio was dead silence in the chamber. Mr , Crolghtou worked hlmsolf Into a gieat passion by reason of till being dubbed "Itot- ton 1'avoment Jim , " Ills entire upeooh was ; nothing but u tirade of personalities , and the ; greater portion of his remarks could not bo . heard , as ho became at times quito Inarticu- Uto. Uto.Mr , Ford wished ihe "giiitleroou" prc-nent to Know that ho was nnver on any ' 'com- mity" that voted for Meyers' plan or the Furnatu street site , Ho further wvnl Into an explanation ot his financial standing In Omaha , and wished to say ho had "twinty- slvon hundred dollars in mo pocket when I came to O me how " "All the money I have now , ' said Mr Ford , " 1 made by means of my Integrity and good , sound common sense. " At the termination ot Mr. Ford's ' speech the chairman put the resolutions , which were carried unanimously A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. TIU3 COUNTY COMMlSSlONimS.
