TO BUILD
CITY HALL
City Dads Decide to Build Town
Hall.-Will Cost in the Neigh
borhood Of $4,000.

AT the regular meeting of the CITY
fathers last evening good many i'm
portant questions were discussed. A
number of bills were allowed at the
llrst part OF the session, and the mat
Ter OF collecting the delinquent city
taxes were talked over: City At
torney w. G. Husband was instructed
to make these collections, and where
II was necessary to sue for same.
The council took up the matter of
building the side walks on the east
side of Central Ave. If the walks
are not built at once the city will
build same and charge it up to the
owners Of the lots
After good deal of discussion it
was decided that city hall was to be
built at once. The building to be of
stone and large enough for the council
chambers, Jail and fire house, which
will probably cost i'm the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. The location for same
has not yet been picked out. The
city has enough money in the treas
ufy to purchase desirable lot and
the town will sell bonds for the rest.
Harlowton is badly in need of
town hall and the actions of the coun-
Gil will undoubtedly meet with general
approval.
1t was moved, seconded and carried
that a suitable resolution be drawn
up TO express the appreciation of the
town council for the manner in which
the citizens and especially the rail
road men aided in fighting the fire of
August 2oth. The following is the
resolution:
BE it resolved that the town coun-
Gil OF the town of IIarlowton is very
grateful to the citizens of the town
and especially to railroad men from
the yards, who SO willingly gave their
time and energy towards lighting the
tire OF August Both, and keeping it
within the limits of the Montana
lumber Companys yard, this saving
lhe town from a disasterous fire."

MONDAY NIGHT
Citizens of Harlowton to Meet Mon.

Grant a Franchise?

AT the regular meeting of the city
council Thursday evening the matter
of granting franchise for city water
works was brought up, and a meeting
OF the citizens of Harowton has been
called for next Monday night. AT
this meeting it will be explained to
the people of this city all about grant

people see fit to grant franchise a
special election will be held by the

W. flare of the city at heart should
tal e enough interest in this matter
to attend the mass meeting next
Monday evening.
