SHORT STORIES OF THE CITY
ara Valley Bank Sidewalk Allowed

Gila Valley Bank Sidewalk Allowed
 Herbert J. Mann, the representative of Contractor Paul F. F. Mueller in the construction of the Gila Valley Bank & Trust eompany's new building, was rushing work on the sidewalk along tho Mesquite street side of the bank yesterday, permission to build the walk on level grade having been obtained from the city council. When the founda- tiOn for the walk was laid couple of weeks ago, it was noticed that the grade was not that required by the city and the work was stopped. Mann ap- peared before the city council Thursday night and explained that when the building was designed there was no or dinance calling for sidewalks on the side streets, and that the terra cotta had therefore been made for a building level at the base. To change the plans now, Mann argued, would disfgure the building. A committee composed of Aldermen Feland, McNcil and Higdon visited the building yesterday and, with the authority given them by the corn- cil, gave permission for the completion of the walk level for the length of the bank building, tho walk to be carried to the sloping grade between that and the corner Of the alley at the rear.
