Show PROSPECTIVE BUILDINGS. Judging from present prospects, Logan will ere long present an array of public buildings that will be highly creditable to our beautiful town. We are authoritatively informed that an intention exists to erect a fine large building, two or three stories in height, on the tithing office corner, the lower story of which will be used as a tithing office and store rooms, and the upper story or stories for council chambers, &c. A county court house is very greatly needed, and T. O. Angell, Jr., architect, has drawn the plans of one, which will be, if erected according to the plans, a fine and imposing building. We have not learned that there is a determination to proceed at once with this structure, but the requirements of the county demand its completion at an early date. Its location will without doubt, be on the county lot on Main street, nearly a block north of Z.C.M.I. here is good reason to believe that a fine building, to serve the purposes of a theatre and social hall, will be put up, adjoining Logan Hall on the north, and finished by the commencement of winter, and a large two story business block on the ground on Third street, formerly known as the Robbin's property, is among the early probabilities. The U. O. M. & B. Co. [Company] have, we understand, decided to erect a store immediately opposite their present one, on Third street, to have a frontage of 35 feet and a length of 60 feet. A large central school house, for the higher grades of pupils, has become a great necessity, and cannot long be dispensed with. Already the educational interests of the children of this city who attend the district schools, demand the erection of such a structure, and the well known enterprise and progressiveness of our town will not long permit such an urgent want to go unsupplied. Of course, the site for such a structure will remain for some time among the uncertainties. When to the foregoing is added the crowning edifice of all, the magnificent Temple now in course of completion, on a site which majestically overshadows the whole city, Logan, when its youthfulness and the difficulties attending its early settlement are considered, may well have reason to be proud of her public buildings, one of the surest tests of the intelligence, industry, enterprise and advancement, by which any community can be judged. |
