In view Of the fact.that a building ad.
the City Hall tumbled down on
Tuesday last, without any apparent or
necessary cause, Mayor Flippin called a
special committee together in order to
examine the City Hall, with a view to
considering its safety, etc The report
Of the committee is as follows:
To the Hon, John R. Flippin, Mayor:
SIR-ln response to your invitation,
hereto attached, we have made a careful
examination OF the south side of the
City Hall building, and in our judgment
report that, in its present condition, it
renders unsafe and insecure the City Hall
and public Offices, as we find this south
wall, ITO feet long by 20 feet high, and
only 10 iRches thick, without plaster
support, or projection of any kind, is
wholly inadequate to carry the weight of
the immense roof structure, covered with
slate as It is, to say nothing of the large
tower, all Of which rests on this thin
wall. Even if the tower was removed it
would still &c unsafe, as on the size Of
the fallen building it is cut at two points,
at II an! "a feet above the floor of the
City Hall, by the joist holes, from which
the floor joist Of the fallen building, by
their violent removal, have materially
weakened the wall at these two points.
We also fud the ceiling insecure, and
requiring immediate attention.
