PLACES VALUE ON
JOINT BUILDING
City Engineer Estimates That Struc-
ture, Considering Depreciation, Is
Worth S35e,s00.

Figures showing the value of the
city's side of the city and county
building, as pertains to possible loss in
case of FIRE, were submitted to the city
commission yesterday by the city engi-
neer, he having been instructed to
make the estimate some time ago when
the commission was considering in
creasing the insurance on the building.
According 10 the engineer the origi-
nal cost of the building, including only
the city's share, was $780, or this
amount $780, represents the cost Of
excavation and the foundation, which
would not be damaged in case Of fire.
Consequently the total value of the
building above ground at the timo Of
construction in 1895 was $4,000 he
figures. Allowing for depreciation at
the rate Of per cent per annum since
1896, he places the present value of the
building above ground and subject to
FIRE loss at S356,800.
Until last weok the city carried
$4,000 insurance on the building.
This was increased several DAYS ago TO
S250,000 A similar increase was made
by the county commissioners on the
county half, so that the total insurance
now carried is 100000.
