| CITY HALL.
Mayor Smith SAID yesterday that Fort
Worth would soon see work under way
on the finest city hall in Texas. Ar
engagements for building will be made
! just as soon as possible. Mayor Smith
! also favors the erection OF q central fire
| station that will be q credit to the city.
| The energies of the city during the COM
ing year will be devoted in part to giving
! Fort Worth needed public buildings. The
mayor believes the time has come for the
city to show faith in its own grand future
| by putting up nothing but first-class,
slightly, modern permanent buildings,
| large enough to accommodate the bust
ness of the Fort Worth of the future.
He thinks it will be but few years until
| the assessable values will reach the sum
of $50, 900, 600.
