BUILDING LIKELY
 ID BE DELAYED
COUNCIL AND FIREMEN's COM MlTTEES' FAILURE TO GET
 TOSETHER IS CAUSE.
Architect Is Waiting on These-Can Not Complete Plans Until the Com nittees Tell What They Want in the Way of City Hall.


 After all the rush to get a city hall erected and paid fire department es- abolished in home of its own, it now appears that work whl encounter de lay because of the inaction of those who are expected to pass on the plans for the new building and enable the architect to go ahead and complete them.
 Those who are held responsible in this matter are the members of the city council committee and the mem bers of the fire department committee assigned to consult with the architect. The latter has been ready to do busi- ness with the committees for some time, but it has so far been impossible to get the members together for ac- tion. The council committeeman, Thompson and Hogan. have been dlli- gent in efforts 10 get a meeting with the committeeman appointed by the hremen, but the firemen have been i'm possible of corralling. Their com mittee is composed of Henkle, O'Con- nell, Schmid and Nemeck. Tester day afternoon two of the committee men were surrounded by the council committee, but the other two from the firenIen could not be found.
 The contractor having the grading of the city hall lot underway is max ing rapid progress. At the rate the contractor IS going it will not be possi- ble for the architect 10 finish plans n time for thelr being taken up and let 10 builder so that the latter can com mence work on them as soon as the ground is ready for him. ConsequenI- ly II is hoped that the committees will get together at once and tell the archi- 1ect what they want. Endeavor is 10 be made to have a meeting this after noon at the fire house.
 4 meeting ot a portion of the mem bers of the committees was had yes Ierday afternoon at which MT. HuI st was present with pans he has prepar- ed, but a meeting or the full commit tees is necessary before the final steps necessary with the plans can be taken Those who looked over the plans yesterday afternoon expressed satisfaction with them, only few min or changes being suggested. They follow very closely the outline for a Duilding that was discussed and Iavor. aOIy consIaerea al the meeting neld following the return oI the committee ssnt to E1i Paso to inspect the hre house buildings in that city.
 4 change mat wII be urged proba- bly before the full meeting of Ihe com mitJess Will De with reference 10 city al fo hre house on the nrst IIoor. Marshal Snodgrass be1Cre the committeeman who meL yesLerQay afternoon urged that the DuliaIng have cells ID connec- ton. ne sIaled mat the present city jall is a farce IF so lar as II aiIorus a pace or security Tor the cnnnemenI Of prisoners. The building, ne sug- gested, could easily De rented for ware room purposes by the city, and would soon pay the cost Of putting cells in room that will afford on the nrsU floor of the fire house building. Prisoners confined there, he also point cd out, could be made useIul about the lire department. Some opposi aon was expressed to the idea, though il was thought by all the commi ttee- men that it would be good idea to have at least couple of cells in the building Others, including the archi- Iect, thought it was only question ct time when third story would be add ed 10 the city building, and then the city prison could be put on the sec ond floor and the city hall and offices be placed on the third floor. Tha foundation for the new building and the lower walls as called for in the plans that have been prepared are out lined with view of another story be ing put on the building.
