A CITY HALL
MUCH NEEDED
Favorable Talk Is Heard OF
Building A Good One
This Year
CITY OWNS FINE SITE
Action Should Be Taken At Once
Toward Submitting Proposition
To The Voters At Coming
Election

The City is greatly in need of City
Hall 1t is far behind other cities of the
state in the way of public improve
ments and up to date methods of doing
municipal business. 1t is doubtful il
there is another city in the state of its
size and business activity but that has
city hall, paved streets and many
other Improvements of public nature
which goes to the making up of live,
progressive and up-to-date municipal
ity. The city already has an excellent
site which was purchased several years
ago with the expection at that time
that a fine City Hall would soon be
built thereon and save the rental
which is now paid for offices, hose
house and fire department headquar-
ters.
For fifteen or twenty thousand dol
lars, perhaps less, a commodious build
ing might be erected which could be
utilized for every department of the
city government in the way of office
room, holding public meetings, conven-
tions, caucuses and all gatherings of a
public nature requiring hall. The
building now used on leased ground for
hose house and use of the fire depart
ment is fast going into decay and in q
tumble down condition. Our fire de-
partment is crude and back number
when contrasted with up-to-date sys-
TENS in other cities, we have no Jail,
detention room or lock.np worthy the
maine and nov fsSan oprortu. time 10
get out of the old rut and push for
something much needed.
Let the officials get busy at once
strike while the iron is hot and carry
out the proposition to a finish.
There has already been much talk on
the subject in business and social circles
and in the Women's Literary Clubs rel
ative to combining with it a fine Car
negie Library and Gymnasium room.
The Andrew Carnegie offer of $4,000
is still open and could be utilized in
connection with an addition to the
building.

IMPORTANT CHANGE
Divine & Greenop OF The Hub TAX
In Two Partners

The Banner takes pleasure in announ-
ing TO its readers this week change in
the management of The Huh, Belongs
great Gents Quitting store. This
store which'for the past two years has
been so carefully looked after by Messrs
Divine & Greenop has won a warm
spot in the hearts of the purchasing
public in Belding and even Many miles
around.
Mr.. Vern &. Divine, one OF the
proprietors, some two or three years
ago started an advertising business in
a small way and this business has
grown so rapidly as to require . goodly
portion OF his time having extended 10
every portion of the United States and
Canada reaching Winnipeg and Mana
toba in the northeast and as far east as
New Foundland, and on this account
time TO the store as he would have de-
sired to do
hhSt Vhoiiuay ihoIihHe CiiahSC tooh
place in the personnel of the firm.
Messrs Art and Orba Mccoy, who have
been connected with the store almost
from its inception became active part
ners in the firm. Acquainted as they
are with every line in the at store
they will fit in TO the harL nicely.
Both OF these gentlemen a. sc we'll
known in Belding that an intro6 ,tion
is absolutely unnecessary. Mr.. Divine
will still hold an interest i'm the store
which he first originted and will de-
vote much time as possible TO the same
but owing to his ether business, will
not be seen there as much in the future
as in the past The Banner is glad TO
welcome these young men into the
ranks OF Belding business men and
feels sure that the great store will be-
come even greater with these two hust-
ling fellows connected with its manag-
ment. The firm will be known in the
future as Greenop, Divine & Mccoy
Bros, who will continue the store under
the old Name ''The Hub" and the same
general business policy will maintain
with the exception that they intend to
do less credit business than formerly.
