Savannah, Ca, May q. 1908: To the
Board of Aldermen. Gentlemen: Your
special committee charged with the
duty of selecting plans for new City
Hall begs to report that, after a care
full and thorough consideration of the
various plans submitted to it, has
deemed it advisable to reject all of
the committee, in it's opinion. meeting
the requirements of the building de-
sired.
In view of the considerable trouble
and expense to which the architects
were put in the preparation of plans
the majority of your committee favor
the payment of premiums to those
lIIGC WHOS6 PldIS are, III lLG OplAllOll
of the committee, the best of those
submitted. While the city is not le-
gally bound to pay such premiums,
there is, the majority of your COM
mittee believe, somewhat of a moral
obligation resting upon it. 1t is ac-
cordingly suggested that Council au-
thorize this committee to confer hon
orariums to the extent of $3.50.
1t is also recommended that Council
am no engage
an architect. under such conditions
as to compensation as the committee
may deem proper, to develop plans
until a satisfactory design is obtained
both as to interior and exterior fea-
lures, and also to prepare working
plans and specifications, take bonds,
etc, all of which are to be submit
ted to Council before contracts are
let. Respectfully submitted,
Herman Myers, Chairman.
Adopted.
Alderman Dixon voting nay as to
the monied award.
