PROPOSE TO PUT UP
BUILDING FOR CITY

Chief of Police Kernels considering a
proposition which has been made to
the city for the erection of a building
on Hill street which will abut on the
jail and be used as a receiving hos
pital and court room for Judge Austin.
The old frame building on Hill street
just south Of First street, which has
been a landmark in that section for
many years, was torn down this week,
and workmen are now excavating for
the foundations for a new brick and
stone structure.
The proposition has been made to
rent to the city quarters for the use of
the receiving hospital, designed on the
lines of a modern hospital, and also a
room for the use of Judge Austin, all
for a rental of $1S5 per month. AS the
city is now paying a rental of 800 for
the present room used by Judge Aus
tin, the cost of new quarters for the
receiving hospital, which is badly
needed, would be small in comparison
with the benefit.
If the proposition is accepted the
narrow alleyway between the two
buildings will be bridged and doorways
