OCEAN PARK, May 15.-The city
council will meet In special session at
0 o'clock tomorrow morning for the
purpose of discussing an offer from
Abbot Kinney to present to the mu-
nicipality, free of cost. site for the
projected city hall. The offer comes as
a result OF plans for a monster dance
hall being discarded after a foundation
OF piling had been prepared for the
structure on the Zephyr avenue side
of the Venice pier Mr.. Kinney's Of
fer places the site and foundation,
which Is partly foored, at the disposal
OF the council. for city hall purposes,
on conditions that the structure erect
ed will contain a convention hall ca
pable OF seating several thousand per-
sons. A $4,000 bond issue was recent
ly voted to cover the cost Of city
hall building and site and this amount
is now available. However II is q
question whether the money thus
raised can be diverted entirely to the

would not be more than one-thlrd
enough to put up such a structure as
