NEW CITY HALL.

The rules were suspended, on motion Of
Mr.. PiZZini, and n report was presented
from the Committee on Grounds and Build
mgs. The report reviewed the attempt OF
the committee to get proposals for the build
ing Of the new city Hall, in accordance
with the Myers plan; told OF the impossi'
hiliy OF this, and expressed the belief that
the plan was what the people wanted. The
committee thought that an additional appro-
priation OF 100000 would be needed TO
build house according to the original
plan, and $4,000 for house on the modi-
fed plan. designs Of which were at present
on exhibition.
A resolution, as follows. accompanied the
report "That the Committee on Grounds
and Buildings, with the assistance Of the
City Engineer. be authorized TO invite pro.
posals for the erection Of the new City Hall,
on the plan OF L, +. Myers, with such ma
tCrial and finish as they may deem best, and
report the result back 10 the Council"
Mr.. Straus moved to lay on the table. and
his motion prevailed.
