Last night the city council had lit

settling among themselves without the
aid of outsiders and newspaper men.
the matter as TO how and where the
city hall should be built. Each mem
Der tried to express his views on the
subject and also the views of his ward
constituents. The city attorney placed
before the meeting the old argument
that those parties who were against
the building of the city hall and fire
department on that triangular piece
of ground in front of the courthouse
were ready in an instant to sue out a
writ of injunction. The matter of the
other site for the fire department and
the Jail to be placed together on the
corner of Stanton and Overland streets
was taken up and discussed at some
length. The necessity for a city hall,
fire department and jail is most ur-
gent, and the matter will be finally
settled at the next Thursday night
meeting. 1t is about settled that if
the corner of Overland and Stanton
streets can be had for the fire depart
ment and jail, it will be taken.
Last night the city council met in
regular session. All the aldermen were
present except alderman Drummer. who
came in later. The question Of the city
hall came up for final settlement. AL
redman Badger addressed the council
and said: In order to get this matter
fairly before the council I move that
we place only the city hall on the tri-
angular piece of ground in front of the
courthouse and the fire department
somewhere else" The motion was car
ried The new city hall is to cost $50,
600 and will be two stories high. The
lower floor will contain six large rooms
and transverse halls and the second will
have a large council chamber. and two
other small rooms. The next matter
was TO consider the purchasing of
site for the Jail and fire department. A
communication from II. f. Wood in
which he agreed to sell to the council
a lot on corner of Campbell and Texas
streets for $4,000 was read. Leigh
Clark. Il. B. Clardy. B F. Darbyshire
and a. P. Coles agreed to deed to the
city a lot on the corner of Stanton and
East Overland. The motion of alder
man Badger that this lot be purchased
was carried.
