THAT OLD CITY HALL

The officials Of Marion are now
considering some plan for housing the
various departments of the city gov
ernment and the hrefghters and po-
licemen. The officers have been or
dercd to vacate the old city building
jus, as soon as new quarters can be
secured. The city council is con-
sldering a proposition to put several
hundred dollars repair on the old
city building, and make it pass in
spection for few more years, or un-
till another good hard windstorm
occurs to shake loose the plastering
IN the cracks which have been daubed
up.
This is the policy which has been
pursued in Marion Tor the past TWEEN
ty years and we are today no nearer
to new city hall than we were a
quarter Of a century ago. The cry
mas been to wait until the Old struc-
ture should become unfit Tor occu-
pancy and the ely would be forced
to build. This tine has come. The
state has taken hand m the mat.
ter, and has derreed that the build
ing can no longer be occupied with
safely, and now the city purposes TO
patch 1t up again and put off taking
any definite action at this time, pre-
ierring rather TO follow that Gus ON
OF procrast!nating.
AT various times there has been
an agitation for the construction OF
new fire engine house. II is prac-
tically conceded that when the new
city hall is built, the fire department
should be removed from It. II has all
along been deemed wise TO have a
fire engine house separate and, in
fact, when it was proposed few
years ago to issue bonds for the
construction of city hall, it was
also proposed TO build a fire depart
ment house. Instead OF putting ex-
pense on the old city building in an
attempt to make It safe and fit for
use for few more years, il would
seem the part of good business for
the city to abandon II now and to
provide for the cons ructlon Of a
home for the fire department, leaving
the city hal question for solution at
some future time The city council,
