PLANS FINISHED
PRESENTED TO COUNCIL AT THE
MEETING LAST NIGHT.
WRANGLE OVER MATERIALS.
Architect, Mayor and Aldermen DIFF
fer as to Outside Finish and
color-Briek, Stone and
Cement Discussed.

Architect Frank E. Wetherell pre-
scented the complete plans and spect-
f~cations for the proposed municipal
building last evening to -Gne city coun
Gil. The construction and arrange
ment was discussed at length by that
body, and some changes ordered. The
plans as presented to the council will
be those upon which the contractor
will base his estimate. After the bids
are received changes as necessary
will be made and the contract closed
for ratification by the people, it will
be subject to such change as is neces-
sary to bring the building within cost,
and in the construction and arrange
ment, as is needful.
The plan is essentially that outlin-
ed in the Herald previously. Briefly
it is this: The basemen OF the build
ing will be built with ten-foot ceiling.
1t will be four feet in the ground and
six feet above, and will contain the
offices of the chief of police, a room
for the officers, and a room for a mu-
nicipal court when such becomes a
necessity to the city. There will be
also a lookup with three cells Ior
drunks or vags. The wood work win
be of oak with an English finish. The
floors are to be of yellow pine. Here,
too, are public toilet rooms.
Up the front stairway, to the first
floor, one enters the lobby with floors
of t~errazzo. Outside the steps are
granite, inside marble. Here, as
throughout the building, except in the
fire department, the wood work is
English-inished oak. At the right

the case is handed down.
The court took the matter under
