HAMILTON, HI, Oct. 2S.--The city
council of the city of Hamilton met
Monday evening in regular session
and much business of considerable
Importance was transacted.
The first matter of any Importance
to come up was the receiving and
opening of bids on the city hall prop
erty There we're three bids filed with
the city clerk. the first one from the
Masonic lodge of this city, their bid
being an even four thousand
dollars, the second was from
C. P. Corey, Of Keokuk, 1t
being five thousand six hun
dred, and the third one being from
Neal Daugherty of this city, 1t being
for five thousand and twenty-five dol
lars Each of the bids being accomp-
anied with certified check for ten
per cent of the amount of the bid.
All the bids were made subject to
the rights of the Masonic lodge, they
owning and occupying the third story
of the building as their lodge room.
No action was taken in the matter
yesterday evening as the ordinance
authorizing the advertising and selling
Iof the property provides that ali bids
received shall be on file for forty
eight hours after being opened and in
compliance with this all three bids
are now on file with Commissioner
Crawford at his place of business and
I a meeting of the council is set for to.
morrow Wednesday, evening to furth
er consider the matter. The council
reserved the right to reject any or all
bids and it is not decided just what
they will do, but it is presumed that
they will accept the bid of Mr.. Corey
and legal steps will be taken to trans
fer the property to him by February
the first, as that was the time ar
ranged for the transfer to be made
should sale be made.
There was quite strong desire
with many that the Masonic lodge
might have been the successful bid
ders, feeling that they might have in
time, done away with the present
frame building and erected in It's
place modern building that would
have been the pride of the entire
community. Many others felt that
had Mr.. Daugherty, local man, got
ten it, he too would have arranged to
have had the old building wrecked
and Judging by the up to date bust.
ness houses he is at present having
built, he too might have made this
corner the very best in town. There
is some doubt expressed as to Mr..
Corey making the expenditure on i'm.
proving the property that either of
the others might have done, yet this
may prove a mistake and he might
do even better, for Mr.. Corey owns
the adjoining property to this and he
might decide to improve the entire
corner, which would prove a decided
advantage to the general appearance.
Matter of condemning Street May be

Thirty feet of this proposed street

In order to avert any trouble if
possible, Commissioner Dodge has
heen negotiating trade with the
Nicholas people before allowing the
city to start the suit. AT the meeting of
council last evening Commissioner
lodge reported to the council that the
Nicholas family wanted an expression
from the council as to what they would
give them for the deed to said strip
