getting IA price from the gas plant

1t looks as if the gas company holds
the key to the whole situation. The

one of the bidders, would hardly
give permission to have its streets

will not admit that the agreement to
refrain from an attempt at operating
is eventually to resolve itself into Il

has already made itself seriously felt

If the city has any money to

If the city has any money to
spend on a new city hall the proper
thing to do would be to reduce the
tax rate. There is plenty of room
for new hall on the cite of the an
tiquated affair which has done ser
vice for the past hundred years.
There is nothing historical about it
that anyone should want to pre-
serve it as a curiosity. 1t should be
torn down and new editice put up
when the finances of the city are in
a proper condition and a building
erected that would be credit to
the city than the present city hall.
1t is enough to make strangers smile
when mention is made to allow the
present city hall to stand and for
the city to hunt around and throw
away some two or three hundred
thousand dollars OF the taxpayers
money. Where the hall now stands
is the best location in the city. 1t
cannot improved. The one and
only mistake our city fathers made
was when they did not purchase
the building occupied as clothing
store by John 7. Mullin, on the cor
ner of Sixth and Market streets.
1t could have been purchased sew
eral years ago for $40, 900. To-day
it could not be purchased for less
than 500 if for that amount.
Butt we are of those who think the
city has plenty of room to build a
very commodious building that
would meet the wants Of the city for
at least the next hundred years. We
are opposed to building a new hall
any other place than where the
present antiquated atfairnow stands.
1t SHOULD be razed to the ground and
the sooner the better
