Last fall it was thcv the fireball would not be built bwbre winter if it was not put on the: ;;larkct square, and the work was iooiLshly rushed into the cold weather. Now the cry is that there will be no new library building this Winter unless it, is put on the little park. This is reinforced by the board with the reminder of the great amount of work they have done get- ting plans for the proper building. Judge Har’ding endeavors to com- plete the rout by threatening to re- sign from the board if council de- clines to provide a. site in re- sponse to the board’s request for the market park. Now each' of these: things has some weight, but not en- ough to justify carving up the mar- ket grounds any more. The disâ€" quieting effect. of these considerations It locks as though another fight in defence of the market plot will have to be put up. The penurious spirit that has taken possession of the peo- ple of this town is likely to have lastincr results, if for no other reason than that it is driving'the public buildings onto plots owned by the town. without reference at all to whether these are the proper loca-- tions or not. The misplaced fire- hall has struck dumb its hottest de- fenders : and before the keen edge of regret. has Worn away. it is proposed to duplicate the folly by putting the public library on the market park. Nobody thinks either of those build- ing; ought to be on the market pro- perty, but because it will save.» the cost of proper sites, they are allowed to go there. Until this stinginess has been overcome, we had better stop putting ‘up public buildings. Better to not have them now, ‘than to have them misplaced for good. And there aJWays seems to be somebody to come along with stem- is not to be compared with the pres- pect of having a town whose market square shall have been cramped to half the sin of its market trade and peding arguments to into these mistakes. was that, 'L‘he fireball PAGE EI G Published Every T ‘ THE STREET LIGHTS at our street lamps sufficed to reveal the darkness.
