BERKELEY WILL
SOON POSSESS A
NEW TOWN HALL
D. J. Tobin Sells a
Site to the City.

BERKELEY. Sept r-The much
vexed question Of a new town hall for
this city Is AZ last settled. The old
structure standing midway between East
ard West Berkeley Will soon be a thing Of
the past. Il is far enough away from the
eastern and western portion Of the town
70 be not readily accessible TO either. The
new situation has at least the merits OF a
good central location. and viii stand not
far from the center OF the business por-
ton OF the city.
The Board of Trustees have been con-
sidering the proposition for some time
past, but the work has been carried on
By i committee and was not generally
known. Thac The decision has been
reached so quietly VIII come as a surprise
even 70 those who knew that the negoria-
tiOns were going On The board disposed
Of the matter at q special meeting held
IN the old town hail last night.
Two sites were offered. One vas 4 pOr-
ton OF the Shattuck estate on the west
side OF ShatCuck avenue, rendered by Mrs.
Z. r. ShattuCk. Ihe other lies in the Nc
Gee tract, also on the west side Of Shat
tuck avenue, and was offered by D J.
Tobiu as represen -ativa OF the MCGee
property The board chose the latter.
There are many advantages IN the Nc
Gee property. aside from the difference n
price which induced the Trustees to make
the selection they did. The new piece OF
land lies between Grove street. Allstou
way Mary street and Straw berry Creek
graded and sidewalks laid. The presence
Of Straw WberTy Creek will serve To set on
the new municipal building. by preventing
the building Of other structures near It.
The consideration named IN the sale IS
$4,000. The tine in which II Is 70 be paid
is three years.
