TO MOVE
Naval Reserves Will Probably Move
into the New Quarters During the
Present Wcek-Have Been Given
Given Permission to Occupy Room
Formerly Used as Police Station at
City Hall.

In the next few days tfe Naval Re-
serves will move into the basement Of
the city hall, the place formerly used
as a police headquarters. The alder
men at the meeting OF the board held
on Monday night agreed to let the
Naval Reserves use the basement Of
the city hall and they expect TO begin
to make their preparations today for
moving. The men viii regret some
what to leave their present quarters
for it is naturally a nicer place than
the one to be occupied but they could
O afford to rent a hall as it would
have been too expensive. 1t was only
a few months ago thai they had their
present quarters nicely fitted up. The
Naval Reserves have a piano and b
police can now have plenty OF music.
