One of First Things That

City Building; Plans Are
Already Drawn Up.

Mayor John d. Sma1ley has begun TO
take a firm hold of the reigns of the
city government, and as one of the first
steps has ordered plans drawn for a
necessary remodeling of the present
city hall.
The city has an appropriation of $3.-
900 which may be used for this pur-
pose, and while not all of this may be
used in this connection it is estimated
that the most of it will have to go into
the Improvement.
The plans as now proposed provide
for a separate office for the city clerk,
a fireproof vault for the city records
an office for the board of public works,
an office for the mayor. and an aerial
gineers office TO the clerks office, all
of these improvements TO be made on
