From the public Improvement COM
mittee:
To the City Council Of the City Of
Grand Forks:
Gentlemen: We. your committee to
whom was referred that portion Of the
mayors message relating to a new
city hall. respectfully report that aft
er due consideration Of the subject.
we have come to the conclusion that
the erection Of new city hall is a
public necessity and that the con-
struction of the same would meet
with the approval Of vast majority
Of our citizens. The city now pays
yearly rental Of fourteen hundred
forty ($1440) dollars for the Office Of
auditor. treasurer and city engineer
and the accommodations are made
quate for the transaction Of public
business. The amount thus paid out
would pay the interest on an invest
ment Of thirty-six thousand 1886 000)
dollars at four per cent and the city
would then have something to show
for the expenditure of its funds. We
are Of the opinion that for an expen-
diture of about fifty thousand $780,
000) dollars. a commodious building
could be erected that would fill the
needs of the cit yfor years to come
and the present city hall could be
sold and the proceeds thereof applied
towards the cost of the new build
ing. We would therefore recommend
that the city council invite the archi-
tects to present pencil sketches of a
proposed new city hall and that when
a plan is selected that the proposition
Of issuing bonds to pay for the struc-
ture be submitted to a vote of the
people. Respectfully submitted. G.

Moved by Alderman Thomas and
seconded by Alderman Wadsley that
the recommendation be adopted and
the city auditor ask the several ar
chitects for pencil sketches as recon-
mended in the communication. Car
ried.
From ways and means committee:
To the City Council of the City of
