not think this is a sufficient remunera-

ton for the use of it.
The Chairman of your Committee is
in the minority upon the Committee and
is of the opinion that it would be wise
to accept the offer and lease the hall, for
the reason that the hall is of very little
income to the city, bringing in only
about S1,750 to $4,000 year, and to rent
it for 81, 600 a year would make a clear
gain to the city of $1,000 year, and as
the Market House has always been, and
probably always will be, a burden, and
this is the first and only opportunity
that has ever offered to make it pay so
much, he thinks the proposition ought
to be accepted, and as the leSees offer to
take it for three years, he deems this
would be gain of at least $4,000 to the
city. Respectfully submitted,
WALTER II. SANBoRN,
Chairman of the Special Committee on
leasing the hall in the Market House.

report of the Committee be adopted.
