CITY HALL ONCE MORE.
Eriilor Democrat: It is amusing to
read the' 'different opinions about the
location for1 'a' city hall. One would
wedged 'alongside other buildings in
the congested business district, shut
off from light and air, and another
would have it located almost out in
the suburbs. Wonder nobody had. as
yet suggested Hackleman's grove and
Gollra Park, sightly locations, sure.
I'or several -reasons tne city hall must
be located close to the business dis
trict. The principal reason for this is
that the building is to house the lire
department. The council chamber, city
'Ollficcs and a commodious city hall,
meeting and banquet room for the
.firemen, etc., would be located in the
building, and all this necessitates a
close-in location.
A quarter block is all that is needed
for the purpose. A whole block or
even half a block close in would be
hard to find and would cause a big
outlay of money, as the time lias
passed, and I hope never to return
when such property can be bought for
a song. VVhy have a lot of vacant
ground surround the city hall, and
who would keep it .up? A lawn cer
tainly would be a nice thing if well
kept, but who is there to do it? Un
sightly weefls would cover the vacant
grounds. 1 he sum of 40,(XHJ, graft
ing omitted, will be sufficient to erect
a commodious and handsome building,
one that will be a credit and ornament
to the city for. many years to come.
Let it be a plain, down to date build
ing, neat in appearance find of sub
stantial construction with walls capa
ble of carrying a third story in lime
to conic. Perhaps it would be better
to drop the matter and let the city
council seiect the site, which should be
a prominent one, located in a nlcasant,
'close in district. Lyon street, the
main thoroughfare to the depot, would
he a proper location.
P. S. I have no site for a city ball
lor sale, nence no axe to grind.

FOR A BETTER COUNTRY LIFE.

The Pesky Coyotes.
The E. A. D. C. Bellinger called: at
this office yesterday and. requested us
to announce that there- would be a,
meeting at Berlin next Monday at 10-a.
m. for the purpose of organizing a coy
ote club. Mr. Bellinger stated that
coyotes were killing more sheep and'
goats this winter than usual. His idea,
is to form a club and each, member pay.
25 or 50 cents for each coyote killled;
a-oertain part of the amount to go- to
the man who kills the animal and the
balance to the owner of the dogs that
do the chasing. With 100 members the
amount each would pay would be small,,
still the reward would be sufficient, to
induce men to hunt the animals and aid.
in their extermination.
