BOSSES THE WORK
The , pedal committee from the city
council met jointly Friday morning
with the county commlealonera
roade and revenues and the proposed
erection of a Joint city hall and court
house was Indorsed by a unanimous
vote.
The meeting was a harmonious one
In every particular, and when several
Important matters had been agreed
ypon. Colonel Clifford L. Anderson, of
the county commissioners, offered a
motion to the effect that It was the
sense of the meeting that the proposed
building Is desirable, and that the com
mittees report back to their respective
bodies and be authorised to Incur the
expense of employing experts to make
the neceesary estimates.
Mayor Joyner presided at the meet
ing. The following others were pres
ent: Alderman'Peters and Councilman
Martin, and Commissioners Clifford L.
Anderson, Judge E. B. Rosser and Rob
ert F. Maddox.
Councilman Martin opened the dis
cussion by asking that some definite
stand be taken in regard to the site,
saying that, lie understood that an ef
fort was being mode to change the lo
cation of the city hall and court house
to the north side.
No Change In 81ts,
Councilman Martin was assured that
no such proposition was seriously being
considered. It was then positively de
cided that the new building be located
where the present court house now
stands, this being the unanimous opln-
Ion of the members of the Joint body.
Commissioner Anderson explained
that it had already been decided to tear
down the present court house and that
a new >400,000 building was to be
erected In Its stead; that MOO,000 of
this would be secured either by bonds
or an Increased tax rate, as the people
decided at the polls, and that >100,000
would be from the sale of the present
almshouse property.
It being the eense of the meeting that
a mlllton-dollaf atructure be erected,
the commissioners stated that they
would change the amount of the bonds
If necessary.
A Legal Difficulty.
City Attorney Mayson suggested
legal difficulty In that the city could
not hold a piece of property Jointly with
the county, bb had been decided before
when the city tried to purchase the
court house, site and all.
The committee then decided that the
city buy outright that part of the prop
erty on which the city hall part of the
Joint building stand and that the archi
tect so arrange that the building, while
one compact structure, be divided by a
hall which would separate the city hall
from the court house.
This, the city attorney held, would re
move the legal difficulty. *
The question was raised as to wheth
er or not the new annex to the court
house, which cost about >150,000, would
have to be destroyed. Commlseloner
Maddox said It would look rather fool
ish to do so..
May 8serlftce Annex.
Commissioner Anderson said he
would be willing to make the sacrifice
If necessary. It was Anally the opin
ion of all that the architect could build
around It and thus prevent the com
plete demolition of the structure.
It was also the sense of the meet
ing that the city should occupy one-
third of the Joint structure and the
county two-thirds, and they pay In

friends of the young couple, as It will be ,
remembered that shortly after the ex-1

It appears that when Baron Springer

he divided Into parcels and leased for
ninety-nine years. The time of the

Baron Springer claim that the property

Mr. Springer’s belief that he Is an
heir to the estate Is based upon the
fact that hla uncle, named Springer,
mysteriously disappeared from Sweden
about a century ago, and It has been
handed down In his family that he
came to America, secured a land grant
somewhere and afterward became very
wealthy. Further than this vague re
