Show ON CITY HALL SQUARE. There Is talk of a Joint city and county building for Ogden and Weber county. Those advocating the cooperation co-operation or tho two divisions of local government in the construction or, a central administration building' contend con-tend that with the growth or the city and county, the court house and city hall will become congested and, building build-ing for the futuro, an imposing, roomy structure should be erected In the cen- tor of tho city square, at about tne j point now occupied by the foundation I of tho city fountain! In connection with this prospective Improvement comes the offer by a man of wealth to lease the northeast corner cor-ner of City Hall square for a long period, with the understanding tnat upon tho site will be built a 2iuu,uvu office building. A modern office building build-ing Is needed and would prove a de-alrablo de-alrablo acquisition to that part ol tne city. , The one big stumbling block in tne way Is the present inability or the city to join in any extensive improvements improve-ments owing to Its depleted treasury and exhausted bond credit within the limits pet by tho constitution. At somo time in tho future, as the city and county Increase In population and wealth, some such " movement might receive sufficient support to become a reality. |
