Some years ago a former ad ministration purchased a small piece of ground located on Jor .1 . n et on w hich to erect aiir' station for the North Side Hose Company and a portion of the up stairs ot this building has been usee' since that time as a munici pal court room, pending the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of all the de partments of the city government. The building of the large ga rage adjoining the present build ing will close up all of the win dows on the south side and will leave the building practically use less except for a tire station as seems to have been originally in tended. The city has the right under the law to provide the new building but it is the intention of the Mayor and Council to. first lay the entire matter before the people before anything definite is done. A mass meeting to which every citizen will he invited, will be called at an early date, as the city must at once begin the erec tion of at least a portion of the new building in order to provide a place for the South Side Hose Company and the new motor track and it is the hope f the members of the Council who have expressed themselves, that the entire buiding be erected now and the entire business of the city be properly housed in one build ing, as it should be. . - . - Jf the new City Hall is built now, it will provide an ideal mar ket house on the entire ground floor and this jvill be sufficiently large to accommodate six or pos siblf 'eight stalls well equipped for meats and fish and conducted under the most approved sanitary regulations. This arrangement will bring a nice revenue to the city ami will help materially in paying the interest on the outlay. The next floor, which will have its main elevated entrance from Commerce street front, will pro vide ample court room, arranged in an ideal manner so as to avoid noise and confusion, a council chamber, .Mayor's office, City Clerk's office, collector's office, su perintendents' offices, Police de partment, etc., and the third floor will be arranegd for a public hall suitable for all kinds of worthy displays and exhibitions :rid to be a general free meetir ace for citizens of the city. If the citizens a,.; ed the plan as outlined (and certainly no serious objection can be raised to it) then High Point will soon be able to point with pride to at least one public building (not in cluding our school buildings) a building worthy of any city in the State. If the city council can finance this proposition as it seems they can, then surely the people will get squarey behind the matter and gvie it a unanimous endorse ment. Decker " Raiders" are Called to Help Con vict Old Chief New York, May io.

AN APPEAL FOR A SQUARE DEAL. To the Democrats of Guilford County: The undersigned citizens of Eastern Guilford appeal to your sense of justice and fair play in asking you to vote for C. A.

Not only docs Eastern Guil frd have 110 county commission er, but it has no other county of fice. ... Eastern Guilford is making no fight on any man on the present board ; we would regret to' see any one of them defeated. Yet, we do ask for representation and a voice in county affairs.
