The Good Work Done by Merry City
Councii-A New Paper.
Special to the Gazette.
HLLsBoRo, TRx. March 24.--Yesterday
the city of Hillsboro received four bids
for building the new city hall. which NAV
be used for school purposes. These bids
had been advertised to be in by the hour
Of 2 p. m. on said date.
). A. Tomlnson of Fort Worth bid for
the work at Sll 900; w. T. Griffin, Sll,-
500; John r. Rogers, Hillsboro, Sll 400;
Hughes Boswell, Hillsboro, Sl0,240.
This last, being accompanied by the re-
CURED bond of $4,000, was accepted.
Messrs. Bristol & Clarke of Dallas were
selected as architects, under whose plans
and specifications the wcrk viii be done.
Mai. A. b. Bristol will personally super
intend the work. The building, complete,
is not to cost more than Sl0,350. 1t is
to amply accommodate 1870 pupils, is TO
be two stories high, each eighteen feet,
the structure to be l02 feet front by GO
feet deep, to be built in the center of the
present beautiful school lot, situated
about 100 yards east Of our public square.
The tower will be eighty feet high.
The twelve bonds of $1,000 each that
were issued to build the city hall have
all been sold, two of them in Hillsboro
aud ten in London, England. They run
twenty years and bear per cent. in
terest. The old school building has been
donated to the colored people for their
school, and when the present term shall
have expired, win be moved to lot Gin
Freedmantown) bought yesterday for
this purpose. Thus has been brought to
happy conclusion the move in favor Of
substantial school improvements in Hills
boro, aud il the contractors are
on time in finishing their work,
an elegant and commodlous brick
building will be ready for our
public school by the irst day OF Septem-
Der, 1886. But this is not all that has
been accomplished by the council, whose
labors are now nearly done, They have
established fire department equal TO
that of Waco, have supplied the city with
flrst-class Sllsby flre-engine and hook
and ladder truck and outfit, and have also
constructed and perfected water supply
worth $4,000, besides building a fire de-
partment headquarters. Much Of this in
valuable work would never have been ac-
complished had not the opposing influence
of number Of leading moneyed men
been defeated by the nerve and pluck Of
the councilmen, backed by the oft-eX-
pressed wishes OF the great body OF our
citizens. The council is TO he congratu-
lated for its grand work.
The new paper, the Ilillsboro Reflector,
to be published by Mr.. ]. W. Golledge,
has been delayed by the strike, as his
material has been delayed in shipment
thereby. 1t will open its first volume as
soon as his supplies can be brought to
Hillsboro.
