CITIZENS UNDIsCOURAGFD.
Are Already Discussing the Building
of. a New City Hall.
Wonder no Serious Casualty Occurred
Ruins are Being Cleared up.

Ruins are Being Cleared up.
Biddeford. December 3l.-The committee
on pubic property met today and took &C.
tion toward clearing up the ruins. Fred L.
Emmons was given charge of the job and
his first work was to pull down the threat
ening wall on the South street side. Twice
the ropes broke, but the third time the wall
fell with crash which shook the street.
big crew of men will be employed until
the ruins can be cleared and meeting of
the city concil will be held at an early date
to discuss replacing the building.
The general sentiment as a reporter has
heard it ex pressed by those who saw with
astonishment how frail the walls were, that
the whole building should be level1ed to the
foundation and new, modern and staple
building erected.
DR.. E. G.. Warren, whose judgment in
such matters is good, says that after exam
ming the building he has made up his mind
that the cross walls are all sound and that
the building can be put back in better con-
dition than it was before for $25,O0u.
The city building stood on the site of old
Central hall, which WAS burned in 1868 and
it was built in two sections. The first was
completed in 1859 and the next year the ad-
dition fronting on South street was rebuilt.
The corner stone of the new building was
laid with appropriate exercises July 4. 1850.
The late Jonathan Tuck was then mayor.
Its original cost was $4,000 but nearly as
much more has been expended upon it at
one time and another since.
Those who know best about the building
have regarded 1t fire trap of the worst
kind and a catastrophe with great loss of
life has long been a general pl ediction.
The late Chief Engineer Boston. who
knew the building we'll, always said that
If fire ever got any start in the building
the whole structure would go.
That it went when it did and with no loss
of life. not even an accident or loss to sur
rounding property, is regarded by all as a
Proyidential occurrence which overshadows
the loss by fire.
A sheriff's inquest will be held to investi-
gate the cause of the Ere. A committee
WAS appointed with view of appealing to
CONGRESS- for special appropriation from
Congress for post Office building.
