That New City Hall.

At the risk of being called fresh and
too new in the field to NEEDLE with such
matters, the following topic being legiti-
mate news, the Journal will give pub
licity TO a rumor that is afioat regarding
scheme to build a new city hall
1t is said. and something of it has been
said IN the presence Of the representative
of the journal, that number of local
capitalists are considering the advisability
of forming a syndicate for the purpose of
building or offering to build the city a
new city hall after plans that will in
every way be of convenience to the city
and at cost that can easily be covered
by the gentlemen who have the matter
under consideration
1t was in hardware stors Thursday,
that the reporter overheard the following
- Yes. they say it can be done and the
city Can have the use of it on reasonable
terms with the option of purchasing after
a stated number of years, the rental paid
being rcckoncd in on the purchase price. !"
"Who Is going to build it,
'That don't know. | don't know
that suah II scheme is on foot even, but |
am telling you of a rumor | have heard
on the street 1t may not be true but
don't see why the scheme is not a feasible
one or why it is not the easiest way for
the city to get just what we want for
city building. Here our city departments
arc scattered all over the city almost and
we are paying good amount for all these
different rooms
Conversation progressed behind the
furnace and from what was heard the
substance follows
The city of Waterville today is with out
a suitable city building, that no one will
question; the city could improve the
opera house. so happy thought strikes
the public spirited citizen that city
building might contain an opera house as
well as city government rooms.
1t was stated that the land on which
the city hall now stands is not the prop
erty OF the city but that when it is not
occupied by the city as 'town hall'' it
reverts back to the estate to which it
formerly was attached or a portion of.
BY building respectable and durable
city building on this lot will not be re-
Anquishing the sitecf the heirs of the
estate 1t will mean keeping it all the
