The city authorities haye purchased of I'm.
tor the sum of $500 | is purchased for the pur-
pose OF erecting thereon an ,ns me house. hall
for city council melting, station house, etc.
Ii is absolutely necessary to purchase some
property for the use of the city before, lots be-
come too valuable. If the proposition to be-
voted upon this spriEg does not carry, the ill.,
yeStment then, even, is good one. The city
PAYS $40 per year for the rent OF council
chamber and house for the fire engine and APP
paratus. Ii would seem To us To be economy
To pul mp some kind of a building, In order
that this yearly outlay may he saved. And
tins will eventually be done. The lot just
purchased will then come in good play. For
our part We approve OF the city councils pur-
chase.
