LACK MONEY FOR
CITY HALL annex
Mayor Suys Ford Hotel Is Good
Site and Room is Needed
No Coin.

While il Is generally admitted that
the purchase of the site of Fords
Hotel for the erection of new court
house might be desirable, it is the
opinion Of Guy Hall officials that such
a step will hardly be taken. This Is
due to the fact that the city, while in
reality excellently situated from
financial standpoint, is nevertheless
pcrilouslv near the limit of bonded
Indebtedness allowed by Law.
Mayor Richardson, when seen
Wednesday morning, expressed him
sell as favorable To the suggestion
that a new city building be erected
on the site. but said at the same time
that he hardly thought il could he
accomplished Just now.
Such IA structure would be very
advantageous in many respects said
he. For one thing, II would make
tE~ CITY Hall less crowded. Several
of the departments need more room
particularly the water department
Then too. ] would like very much
tp see the police court moved out oi
this building. II the proposed struc-
turc were erected. the court could he
moved there without difficulty and
With no one inconvenienced in any
way
Is fortunate. II would Ire simple
matter 10 run pipes under the street
from this building. thus heating both
from one plant. his would mean a
co nsiderable saving.
But With all this IN its favor there
remains the fact that with SO many
other projects III hand the city can
not spare the money necessary for
the putting through g. such big
:chome.
of course the whole matter is
one for council TO decide But they
are nov considering the arranging for
the better lighting facilities for Broad
street. and for the Improvement If
pa|ements by laying concrete over
the present granite base Also, they
are considering other things. all Of
which may be given precedence over
the new courthouse suggestion.
Just at present the city is spend
revenues in paying off interest on It's
bonds and reducing the amount OF its
Indebtedness. 1t can scarcely increase
this amount at the present time, -
Initial suggestion for the construc-
tion Of Il new civic building emanated
from Building Inspector Beck in his
report Of January 20 Mr.. Beck thinks
sue ha structure needed by the city
and also thinks the land now occu-
pied by Forcfs Hotel would prove an
admirable site.
Il is Sumored that resolution call
ing fer the purchase Of this land will

meeting to be held Monday. June 5

poet is sufficient Co arouse the keen
interest not only Of motorcycIists. but
of an lovers of the racing game
a twenty motorcycle race
under the rules of the Federation of
American MotCrcyclists would mean a
real race. The r. g.. nj. permits only
one rider TO ride any one machine iu

and would mean that the man and the
machine that could best stand the TWEEN
ty-iogr-hour grind would win. Tt would
