THE CITY COUNCIL.
THE PURCHASE OF ST. PATRICH's
HALL,

The terms of the purchase OF at. Patrick 9
Hall by the city are even more favorable than
we're mt first reported. Instead Of twelve years.
the city has eighteen years wherein TO pay for
the ednee the purchase price Of which ls seo-
600. It will therefore require $3.50 year Tor
each installment. which. added to the interest at
per cent would amount to q sum very little In
excess Of the ta5oO economical In rents for the
public Offices. which 1t ts proposed to transfer
TO st. Patrink's Hall. At the Council meeting
yesterday-the proceedings OF which will be
found officially published In this morning s
DBMocRAT-the Mayor was authorized to enter
into the necessary contract for the transfer OF
the building to the city. 1t should not be for
gotten that when the lease OF the Davidson
buildings shall expire. within the next five
years, the city will be able to economize $4,000
more annually by transferring the police court
and headquarters TO 81. Patrick's Hall. 1t can
readily be computed how much the city will
have economical In eighteen years.
