Mayar satson Says Board 10 willing
To Abide BY Wishes Of the People,
and is Trying to Get Sentiment Of
Voters-says Present Building Is In
adequate and. May Fall Down Some
Day,

The question OF whether the voters
Of Hattiesburg shall be given an op-
portunity to say whether the city shall
erect a new City Hall this year, is
one that has been put up to the Board
of Commissioners.
1t is stated today by one member
of the board that the people them
selves shall pass upon the question;
that If an election is desired, the COM
missioners will be only too glad to
hold one. Some method of obtaining
the sentiment of the voters Of the city
is desired, he said, and once this is
secured, the board will know what
steps to take.
Mayor T. e. Batson said this after
noon that while the question had been
asked him several times. he has been
unable to answer.
Il do know that there are scores of
citizens of Hattiesburg who want an
election called. They want 1t called
because they want to vote for the i'm
mediate construction Of new City
Hall.
"The building now occupied Is an
old one, and should be supplanted by
more modern structure. And. be-
sides. the present building is going to
tumble down one Of these days.
Would Call Election.
1--WE would be glad to call an elec,
:tion to- let the people decide whether
,hey want the city to bond itself for
the new building. Many Of the city's
most prominent business and CONNER
tcial men think that this Is the. best
time to do the building. Money is
becoming easier and men need work.
As 1t Is but question Of time when a
new home will have to be provided.
these business men think this time
should be selected.
"However, the commissioners are viii
ling to let the people decide that mat
ter for themselves. II an election is
desired. we shall gladly call one. II
an election is not wanted at this time.
we shall do nothing toward forcing
