That p. rest Interest is manifested u te the
alia of the proponed government building
Is evident from the largely attended meet
Inn at the Beard nf Trade room en Tues
day evening. Seven o'clock u the hour
designated ler the infilling, but long before
that time every seat was occupied and dcx
ena'Were Standing. These who came late
were obliged te remain In the ball way,
bat pe great was the Interest In the discus discus
slen en tbe several eltea ettered that all
remained te the close et the meeting,
although It did net adjourn until
nearly 10 o'clock. The audience wta made
up chit lly of business men. The advocates
of theseveral sites et tbe conclusion of their
(hewlng that all the eltea had friend.
Festmnater Hlaymaker opened the meet
ing by announcing that CeL Filter, the
government agent, desired te bear the
views of the cltizsna of Lancaster as te the
several sites ellered for the publle building.
He proposed Dr. J. P. Wlckersbatn for
chairman and he waa selected by acclama
tion. Dr. Wlckersbatn staled the rbject of tbe
meeting, after which he asked ler an ex
pression of opinion as te whether speakers
would be limited as te time and receiving
no reply be announced that there would be
no limit.
Mr. Rlddle suggested that tbe meetlng
adjourn te the upper room, se as te accem
medate the large crowd. lie was Informed
that tbe Urge room could net be had.
W. F. Heyor, esq., moved te adjourn te
the court liouse, where everybody could be
comfortably Beated,and be and E. D. North,
eaq , were appointed a committee te aiosr aiesr
tal i if tbe court room could be had. As
tbe committee fslled te report the supne-
' sltlen is that the J m Iter could net te round.
I Dr. Wlckershnm Raid the meeting was
ready for business, and Mr. Breams asked
whether any modified bids had been re
ceived. Cel. Fister said a low had been
banded hltn-and be tben read the modified
bids. The Uriel estate e flared their
let, 108 feet en Dnke etrcet and 150
feet en Walnut street ler (15,000, a
decrease et (1,000 ; AOratn HIrsh offered
thopreportyat.tho onrner of Water and
Orarge streets ter (21,000, a decroase el
(8,450; the property at the corner of Marlen
alley and Duke street, belonging te Wm.
Aug Atleeand ethers was reduecd from
(20,000 te (15 000 ; Geerge K. Reed offered a
part of the Moravian cemetery, 128 feet by
140 feet, for (12 000, and the Shober and
Golsenbergor let, 140 by W)i feet, was
Hered for (29,000.
Cel. B. Frank Eableman made an argu
ment In favor et the Atlee let. He said that
be did se at tbe request of a very large
number of business people, and becauseit
Is tbe most accessible, desirable and valua
ble for tbe bmallest sum of money. He
was net preterit as thendverate or oeunsolcf
anybody, b-t as a citizen having the city's
welfare at heurt. Whlle it was true that he
owned property In the vicinity of the site,
(tbe building in which this meetlng was
held,) that property has a fixed value and
the construction of the publle building near
it will add nothing te Its valu", and If it is
net built in this vicinity Its va'ua will net
be less. He also owned property in the
nerthern part cf tbe city, and it self interest
was his uiotive he would advoeate tbe
Oriel property, because of its proximity te
his property In that neighborhood.
The Atloe let la practically in the angle
of Lancaster's two lending thoroughfares.
It U near the court house, the banks, In a
direct line irem the court hou&e te the
railroad, convenlent te lawyers and
merchants, and It la clTuretl at a very rea
sonable prlce. The owner, want (15,500
fjr the lets. They are ellered at (15,000
and tbe remaining (500 will be made up
by subscription. If the site la selected
lurtber north people are compelled te walk
a great distance te tbe publle building j if
tbe Moravian graveyard Is selected It Is be
yond tbe business centre. This Is net a
heavy manufacturing city and the greatest
amount of beauty and convenience) 1b
wanted; foaatbe money te be expended, and
no ether location presonled ettered tbe same
advantages-a the Atlee lets. It Is accessi
ble from all points by street railway, Is In
the shadow of five churches convenient for
t lese obliged te get mall en Sunday and
for tbese and many ether geed reasons he
believed it te be the wlsebt selection that
eduIg, be made, c
ORIEL'S CORNER AD0CATEI)
Mr. Kiddle tald that of all the sites of
fered there were two that bad advantages
ever all ethers. Tdcse were the Moravian
graveyard and the Grlel let, at tbe corner
et Duke and Walnut streets, but In his
judgment tbe Oriel let ettered the greatest
advantages. The one fact must net be lest
sight of and that la that tbe city
is growing. It Is extending north
ward and evor one-half of the mall
that cornea te tbe city gees north et
Orange street Otboreltles put tbeir post pest post
elllces In what was tbe business contre
when they wero erected, and business men
in Philadelphia and New Yerk complain
new because their postelllocs are net lur
ther westward. The site for Lancaster's
publle building should be selected for pres
ent wants, but there should be some re
sard for the future. Twenty years hence
tbe Pennsylvania railroad depot will be
lce.ted In the northern end of the city. The
Oriel site Is en a point higher tbtn any
ether named, la In a commanding position,
fronts en two main streets, while the ether
prominent altos ettered front en a street
and alley. He had no Interest directly or
ludlreelly In the location or tue punue
building, but advocated the Grlel corner
because he believed It te bs tbe bsst site
offered,
THE MORAVIAN CEMETERY.
Ilev. J. Max Hark did net think it was
much compliment te any slte that It had te
be bolstered with argument What the
commissioner wants Is facts, and the facts
as te the Moravian cemetery are that It Is
tbe largest let ter the least money ; U Is
between the two railroad depots and as near
te Ibe business centre ai any ether site
offered, and it Is the centre of population of
the city.
E. K. Martin, esq., also advocated the
Moravian tract as tbe most deslrabte let
offered, because the population or tbe city is
extending northward and westward.
Cel. Fitter aa'd drainage of some of tbe
sites offered had been reported te him as
net sufficient He desired te say that the
drainage of all thp sites ettered was ample.
Marriett Breslu, esq , desired te express
his own view. Of the sites c lie red the
o'lelce in his Judgment waa narrowed te
three the Atlee lets, Shober and Geisen
berser property and tbe Moravian ceme
tery. The publle convenience would be
equally served by taking any et these
tracts. All are sufficiently near tbe centre
ler publle convenience. Tbe next thing te
be considered is tbe cost The Atlee Ieta
are offered at (15,000 and tbe cemetery at
(12,000. Tbe cost of construction at one
place will be as mueh as tbe ethor, there,
tore en the were of economy the grave
yard has tbe best of tbe argument. Ha
bad a denbt a te the drainage at
lbs Moravian tract, but that was te
moved by what Cot Fister said.
Mr. Sieinaiett asked whether the Mora
vian chureh bad taken action about selling
tbe cemetery. Mr. Reed said there would
be be question about a proper title It the
Moravian cemetery waa decided upon aa
tbe site.
Cot Flster desired te correct the Im
pression about tbe manner et selecting the
site. He did net oeme here te ride rough
ahed ever everybody. He submits a report
te tbe secretary et tbe treasury as te tbe
site be bellevea te be tbe most advantageous
for tbe clii-ena and when his report Is ap
proved that ends tbe question of sit, with
the title he had nothing te de, He expected
a site te be offered free of all encumb
rance and if there is a defect In
the title of tbe property selected ihera
will be a delay In the erection et the build
ing. It must be remembered that tbe ap
propriation for the building Is (100,000 and
It is net policy te pay bait tbat sum ter
kite. He doslred te locate it as near the
business centre as possible, and while be
would net aay that business will fellow
where tbe publle building Is placed, bis ex
perience was tbat business would spring
up In the vicinity of tbe new publle build
ing. A. C. Kepler said the business people et
tbe city favored the Sbeber hotel and, were
willing te have a building at less cost than
te have a building erected at any of the
ether sites named.
J. Ik Stelnmetz, esq., who appeared for a
large number of business men, made a
lengthy argument in favor et locating the
building en tbe Sbeber tract He began
bis argument by stating that the business
and net tbe geographical centre should be
considered in locating tbe building. It has
been stated tbat dlssatlsfaotien exist in
Philadelphia and New Yerk because their
publle buildings were erected in what was
j tben their business centre. If there was
any such dissatisfaction it has net been
made publle by the great newspapers of
these citle-. In Reading out et the (ISO,
000 appropriated (17,000 was expended for a
site, and If tbe Sbeber tract la aeloeted
about the same ratio will be expended
here.
When the posteflioo was removed from
its location at the corner of Centre Square
there was a unanimous feeling en the part
of the business men of theelty against
going far from that neighborhood, and the
government acceded te the wishes et Lan
caster's business men by remaining practi
cally In that neighborhood. "Don't disturb
the peaceful slumbers of the dead," said the
speaker, "and don't let it be said that Lan
caster had te take a graveyard for a publle
building."
If the business men of the city are te be
accommodated tbe publle building should
tie located at Sheber'a. The difference In
frontage en Orange street Is worth tbe dif
ference asked ler this site.
THOSE FAORINQ THE SHOIiER SITE.
The business men et the city were con
tent te have the postefllce in the vlelnlty of
Centre Square for the patt half a century,
and new they de net want te have it re
moved aey further from tbat locality tban
is absolutely necessary.. The Shobers have
been offered (15.000 for their property ;
there is a gentleman In the room who will
give that sum for it te-night, and (21 000,
the price they will get for their share or this
site, is net exorbitant. This price was net
fixed by the Shober heirs, but by disinter
ested business men, who said that was a
fair value. Mr. Stelnmetz tben read a peti
tion of business men praying tbat tbe publle
building be located en the Sheber-Gelsen-berger
Bite. It oentalnod the signatures et
tbe following parties : A. C. Kepleiaaf ebn

Mr. Stelnmetz continued : it a vote
could be taken In this city it would be
practically unanimous for the Sbeber site.
It Is net a question whether business will
fellow the publle building If It Is roosted at
an objectionable plaee. When Watt it
Shand went Inte business for themseives
tbey did net go away from the centre. If
the business interests are te be accommo
dated tbe publle building should be placed
as near the centre as possible, and tbe (71,
000 left after paying for tbe Bite will be
ample te erect a handsome structure.
Cel. Flster gave his experience about
cities votleg for the losatlen of a slte. He
did net take much stock In that mode of
selecting a site.
Mr. Stelnmetz asked If tbe government
has ever paid (30,000 for a slte where only
(100,000 was appropriated for a publle
building, and Cel. Flster did net think
tbey had ever paid se high a price as tbat.
Samuel M. Myers favored tbe Grlel let
because of Its beautiful location. The In
crease of population has been northward.
One advantage et tbe Oriel let Is that a
search warrant need net be taken te find It,
as would bs the casa if some of tbe sites
offered were selectee!.
Mr. Stelnmetz asked Mr. Myers It tbat
objectionable alley near the Sbeber tract
was net there when he lived en Orange
street and Mr. Myers replied that It was,
and tbat may have been tbe reason he
moved away.
Mr. Myers continued his argument In
favor of tbe Grlel let, and said the dellvery
of letters by carriers was thorough, and
there was very little necessity for business
men te go te tbe postefllce. If the Grlel
let is selected, ten years bence tbe bustneea
men el the city will thank Cel. Flster for
having selected it
A J. Heeenstetn said he represented the
younger business element of the city, and
In his talks with business men generally
he found the opinion of all te be tbat the
Sbeber site was the proper one te select
Gee. K. Heed said there were some names
en tbe petition asking for tbe Sbeber slte
who when speaking te him favored tbe
Moravian cemetery. In support et tbe
Moravian cemetery site he said it was but a
hundred feet further from tbe business cen
tre tban tbe Sbeber site and tbe ditlerence
In cost between them was (17,000. Tbe
Moravian tract Is only 500 feet from the
Pennsylvania railroad and 600 feet from tbe
Heading dpet He had no personal inter
est In tbe Moravian tract. If he consulted
bis own Interests he would favor the Oriel
tract, beeaure it aa close te his property.
Jehn W. Lewell said that be went around
with tbe petition for signatures for tbe
Shober tract and everyname en It was
signed voluntarily and only after It was
explained tbat It was for tbe ground In tbe
rear of Khebar's hotel. He bad no axa te
grind in tbe selection of a site, If be bad
ha would favor the Atlee property, because
It waa near his plaee et bnalnssa.
Jehn D. Skllea remarked that he could
go out with a petition favoring the Atlee
tract and get aa many or nor basinets
men te sign It tban favored the .Shober let
Three-fourths of the buslnesa men who
signed the Shober petition wart) In bust bust
nessen the first square et North Queen
street Tbe Atlee tract, offered ter 115,000,
would bring aa mueh money la the mar
ket aa the Sbeber traet, although 929,000 la
asked for the latter.
Abram HIrsh said tbat when he offered
the government bis property at the corner
or Water and Orange streets be did se In
geed faith and at as reasonable prlee as be
could afford te sell it He was satisfied that
he could go out and get a petition signed by
500 people asking the government te locate
tbe building en tbat site.
Geerge N. Reynolds argued tbat It was
notpelloy te locate the building tee tar
from tbe business centre, because tee much
valuable time is lest In going te the post pest
efflaa with important malt
PETITIONS USELESS.
Mr. Brealusdld net think mueh weight
ought te be given te petitions in a matter et
this kind. It looked te him like a trlek.
The surroundings et a publle building
ought te be considered, because tbey are
Important. If tbe surroundings of tbe
Shober let are considered they will net
be found te be Inviting. The Franklin
heuse stables are tee near. If the eemetery
let is solectod the surroundings will be
pleasant
Mr. Sklles sgaln asked Mr. Lewell
Whether when he went around vsjth the pe
tition for the Sbeber site be did net ask
signatures and obtain them by stating that
Sbeber's corner was referred te for tbe site
of tbe public building.
Mr. Lewell positively denied having
made any misrepresentations.
Charles E. Leng said tbat as this was a
representative business men's meeting be
favored taking a vete pf all present as te
tbelr choice e f a site,
Mr. Skllea favored taking a vote after
due notice was given, se that all business
men could express tbelr opinions.
Cel. Flster settled the question of voting
by stating that be did net take any stock in
tbat manner of deciding the location of a
publle building : and as te petitions favor
ing certain locations be never read them.
Tbey would net change bis opinion and
would bave no welght with him. He waa
glad te hear se tree an expression et
opinion from Lancaster's business men and
he said he was ready te stay all night It
necessary.
At tbe conclusion of Cel. Flster'a re
marks the meeting adjourned.
The slte will probably be selected this
week, after which the work will be pushed
rapidly, and one year from the time tbe
contract is signed the building will be
ready for occupancy.
