| Show BROADENED VIEWS Selectman Howe is Glad He Went to Denver I He Now Wants the Joint Bniltlinsto Rival and Outshine Denver County Court House A HERALD reporter yesterday had a chat with Selectman Howe one of the county committee who visited Denver for the purpose pur-pose of inspecting the county court and other public edifices prior to passing on the plans for Salt Lake joint city and county building For myself said Mr Howe HI am very glad the trip was made I can vote more intelligently when tho matter comes up and am in much better positon to decide on the sort of building than I was before Denvers county court house which till recently was noted as the finest building in the west cost less than 300000 For the 30000 we propose to expend I think we can put up a building still more imposing I am of the opinion that we should build nothing less than 240x110 feel a high basement and three stories and I am more than ever in lavor of building on the Eighth ward square or somewhere elsewhere else-where we can have plenty of room for ground The Denver city hall which is built right on the street 1 did not like at all It appears to me that close proximity to paved streets and sidewalks would be very objectionable to a court house on account ac-count of the continual noise and I am satisfied we will do well to get off the main business street just as they have done with their county building I the dimensions I have named were adopted we would not have a whit too much room atleast on the part of the county half of our space on the lower floor would be needed by the recorder alone the assessor and collectors office would use the greater part of our other half The county court the surveyors office etc could be on the second floor and the top floor could be used for legislative assemblies Denver assem-blies or the district courts as > they are in Mr Howe said in conclusion that he believed be-lieved there was more faith in Salt Lakes future felt abroad than in Salt Lake herself her-self Everyone he met in Denver conceded that wo were the great mtermountain distributing dis-tributing point and that nothing could stand in the way of our progress |
