CITY HALL PLANS
HAVE BEEN
RECEIVED
Have Been Somewhat Modified,
But are More Acceptable
Than Original Ones.

Chairman L. Hilton Green Of the
bond trustees has the revised plans
for. the. city hall, for which bids are
now being asked, in his Office and a
comparison Of these plans with those
originally submitted show that several
alterations in the proposed building
have been made, with the object Of
reducing the cost of same.
No material change, so far as con
venience, space, or desirability Is con
cerned, has been made, but some OF
the useless ornamental features have
been eliminated and it is expected
that the reduction in cost on account
of these changes will bring the. build
ing well within the appropriation and
the saving will admit of many other
incidental Improvements which were
not Originally contemplated.
The present plans, in the opinion OF
nearly all who have seen them, are
really more satisfactory in every way
than the original ones.

Trap shooting has made America a
land of straight shooters, and no coun-
try in the world can compare with the
United States in shooting. Gun clubs
in America are directly responsible for
that reputation which Uncle Sam so
proudly bears. By constant practice
at inanimate targets the American IN
consciously prepares himself for his
country's call to arms. Gun clubs are
really the outcome of the abundance
of live game in America. The average
business man loves to tread the woods
in search Of live game, but usually his
time to go on these hunting trips Is
limited to perhaps once year, and
during the interval he has lost his

keep his eye keyed up properly, and
in order to get practice at home during
spare moments he organized the gun
