THE CITY BUILDING. The question of voting (5,000 Avorlh bonds for the erection of a city building will conic before the r.iti.eiis of Parkerville on the 11th of next month, and by them be decided the ballot-box. On two occasions previous to this the people hive voted on this pi'opo-. sition, and each time it was carried by a substantial majority. Tt is a good rule to follow in affairs of this kind, where comparatively large sums of money are to be voted on the taxpayers, to give the subject serious thought and reflection, and, if possible, rigid investigation, and the present instance is no exception to that rule.

The expenditure of this much money by the city, especially at the present time, for the erection of a building that would serve simply as a convenience or a public ornament, and Avhicli would increase taxation and place a bonded 11 i i i 1 the worst possible light as an investment that the town does not contain more than a thousand inhabitants in twenty years from L.

As a business man, mechanic or laborer, or as a property owner, you can ill afford to vote against the proposition. The bulk of the money voted will be spent at home.

It was to be no burden on the taxpayers, no load to carry. The building, if erected, will be of stone, 50 feet front, 80 feet deep, two stories, with a total height of 3 feet. The lower floor will consist of two large and handsomely finished business rooms, and the upper floor will be used as a public hall and for the use of the city officers when necessary. Each, of the lower rooms will rent for at least 15 a month, as that amount is being paid by some of our business men at present for places that Will not compare with the new ones.
