another American and for twenty-seven
years a resident Of that place, started for a
village fifty miles away to attend mis-

from village, they met three Koords.

on the head with heavy club. Both

The Committee on Real Estate in its re.
port last evening reported having made an
examination OF the City Building and found
that though the building is apparently in
as good condition as 1t was year ago, yet
a critical examination Of the south wall
shows very decided indications OF having
settled this past spring. The committee
further reported that the building had
been pronounced unsafe by experts and
former committees, and 1t was Of the opin.
ion that the south wall might give away at
any time and that any injury done 10 per-
sons or property would place the city re-
sponsible for heavy damages. Further,
that outside ef the unsafe condition Of the
old relic the cost OF repairs which are
needed each year isso much money thrown
away and squandered.
The committee recommended that In the
interest OF safety and economy other quar-.
ters be provided for the meetings OF Coun-
Gil and the officers OF the city. To that
end they submitted resolution that
special committee be appointed to select
other quarters and report cost, etc.
Mr.. Clator objected, and thought the
building would last until all were dead.
Mr. Shanley approved the appointing Of a
committee and the making Of Inquiries, as
that at least would cos. nothing, The
recommendation was adopted. ... ...
