Bellaire has had much to talk about
this week, with a murder occurring in
the city and several accidents, and also
the opening of the bids for the new city
building. The latter. seems to have
created the most gossip, and it is cas-
lily to see many people deeply regret
that the bids OF this new edifce were
SO much over the amount to be appro-
priated. There is no doubt but that
the majority of all the citizens want a
new city building and trust that it
may be built, and that it will be a
credit to this growing city which to-
day has such a bright future before it.
No one doubts the need of a new
building, and a Large number say build
one that will meet with all require
ments for a number of years to come,
and not half do this important city
work. A large number are in favor of
using local stone, and in that way de-
crease a large amount of the cost, as
many say Cleveland stone is not SUI
perior to the home stone. Be this as
1t may, n fact is certain, that both
products have given good satisfaction
in many places, and the native stone
has an especially good reputation. One
thing is certain, Council will use the
same good Judgment in this action as
has guided them in the past, and may
the result be that the city will have a
new building and one that will be a
credit to the city.
