ATLANrA's NEW CITY HALL.

A Howl Over Its Location May End
In Leaving the City Without one.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 1.-The officials Of
the county and the city council have become
considerably tangled up over the building
of new county court house and city hall.
The court house has been an eyesore for
several years, ana since the building OF the
new state capitol the city has been without
building in which to locate its Offices
Both county and city have frequently agi-
tated the question of erecting new struct-
ures in keeping with the progress of the
city, and recently both bodies decided to
give their respective projects definite
form. 1t was then suggested that
the city and county unite and
erect a building TO cost about 81, 900 600
which would be an ornaments to the city,
and at the same time accommodate both
the county and city business. The propo.
sition met with favor, but as soon as 1t
seemed that the scheme was about TO 90
through a vigorous fight was precipitated
over the location OF the proposed building.
At present the court house and the city
offices are on the south side of the city, and
when it was suggested that the magnificent
new building should be located on the north
side tremendous howl arose. This sec
uonal feeling is growing 50 heated each
day, as the plans for the building are dis
cussed. that it is freely predicted that the
proposed new building will have TO be
abandoned.
