sources this morning that If the car

Tough this morning. 81 am heartily in
favor of a new building. The present
quarters are a disgrace to Walla Wal
la. Not only is the building untitled for
city purposes but in reality if it was
not the fact that the building is owned
by the city it would have been con-
demned long ago.
"Plans and specifications for the
proposed building have been prepared
for nearly two years and about all that
will have to be done is to advertise
for bids The plans were drawn by
Architect Osterman and at the time
it was estimated the building would
cost around $45,O00. The same building
at the present time would probably
cost more in view of the recent ad-
vance in building material
