SHALL CIRCUS SHOW ]?

There will be few council commit
tees TO meet this week. because until
after the meeting Of council on the
first Monday in October there will be
little FOR the committees to do.
Many OF them have already sent
measures To council TO be acted upon,
and there Will be little else for the
committees to do this month but APP
prove pay roll and bills. and in most
cases the committees have designated
the chairman to do that
The only committee scheduled for
Monday is the grounds and buildings
committee which Will meet AT the City
hall at i o'clock. and from there. In
automobiles, will take tour over the
whole situation embraced in the work
laid out for the committee.
In plain words the committee will
go ont 10 all the parks. and will look
into what may be needed and what
mas be requested later from the of
ticiai in charge of those parks and
buildings,
In this trip there viii be several
articular things to be considered. One
of them viii be TIE question whether
TO allow circus 10 place its tents
upon the oval at Byrd park. which
has been arranged as the most &C
cepta hIe Fairgrounds In the city, and
another witt be the question as TO
whether te i4eH small -n9Ss 10 play
baseball. and the young girls TO play
eroquet or tennis on Chimborszo
park.
The most important matter to be
looked into by the committee will be
the location OF place for the city
school board and its officers
Quarters for School Board.
At the end of the year. when the
administrative board takes possession
Of Offices In the City hail. others will
have to vacate.
The building inspector has cast his
eagle eyes upon the rooms occupied
h ythe city attorney, the city account
ant and the ro8m ased by the big
committees, between the two. He
thinks that this section OF the City
hall will make good quarters for the
administrative board
In order TO get these quarters the
city attorney and the city accountant
must move ~s..ss .e.s se. T..
The Office now used by the city &C
countant was designed originally. by
City Engineer Cutshaw. as re
the reporters by City Accountant Nc
CarthY when he took up the job of
city accountant. Since then the re-
porters have had no room. They
have had, mostly. TO write the pro-
oeedings OF things around the CITY
hall either on their cuff OF they have
oneI or against the wall.
Room In Basement.
There il no place. so far as can be
seen, TO which the city attorney and
the city accountant may go except to
the rooms now occupied by the school
board
superintendent Chandler at the las;
meeting Of the grounds and buildings
committee stated the case clearly. He
Indicated that so far as he could see,
rooms in the old high school build
ing tthe John Smith schooD were
the only ones available and that IL
would take several thousand dollars
to place the rooms in condition. In
spector Beck said he did not think
that sum was too much, and IL Ia likely
that the council will be asked 10 APP
psopriate that sum IS, 00ots for the
purpose.
There are some rooms In the base
ment Of the City hall which may be
utilized by the Administrative board in
the enlargement OF the Offices of the
chief OF police and the coroner, These
matters will come up later.
