ADVANCES NEW
BUILDING IDEA
Suggestion Made That Pres
ent Structure be Made
a Public Hall

There will be a conference this af-
trenoon between the Levy Court and
City Council regarding a joint building
for county and city purposes. A new
suggestion concerning the building
has been advanced during the past few
days. 1t is to let the present Court
House remain and build a modern
three-story Court House on the Elev-
enth street side Of the present build
ing, and to remodel the present court
room for mass meetings, banquets,
conventions, or fairs. Offices on the
first floor could be rented It is esti-
mated that this work would cost $780,
600.
The suggestion further provides
that the city building be erected from
the present Court House along Tenth
street. This building like the county
building would be 20x1S0 feet and
three stories high.
One member of the Levy Court said
today that the joint building question
is not mature. "To tear down a fire.
proof building costing 100000 does
not seem like business to me- he
said.
