VETERAN FIREMEN's BUILDING.

duced by Alderman Dam.
Alderman Little did not wish to be I'M
derstood as opposed to the use of that
building by the Veteran Firemen, but he
thought an unconditional lease for %
years might put the city at a disadvant-
age. He thought conditional lease
might be drawn SO that if the city wants
to use that land within twenty-five years
it can do so.
Alderman Dam said that he believed q
conditional lease would be entirely ac-
ceptable to the Veteran Firemen.
Alderman Little moved that it be re-
ferred to the committee on public build
ings. 1t was so voted.
