/ The action Of the Water Commission
ers In deciding to erec, a one-story ad
ldition to the departments headquarters
at Sixth and King streets is being gen
orally condemned for the reason that II
will mar the beauty of the little park
on King street in the rear of the police
station and City Hall.
| 1t was stated by members of City
Council last night that the Water Com
missioners did not have the authority
to erect such an addition as the park
is owned by the city, and is under the
control of the public building committee
Of Council. Members of this committee
say they have not given any permission
for the erection of such building.
A permit will have to be taken out
for the erection of the building but it
is said Building Inspector Cassidy will
refuse to issue permit under the cir
cumstances.
The members Of Council in view of
the fact that the Water Commissioners
recently refused to advance any of its
surplus money to help out that body,
are not disposed to grant them any
favors.
The plans for the addition show

the present building. There would be
but one story and basement and the
addition would run back toward Mar.
