Surprise was expressed that a
cruiser. bearing the minister OF war,
could have been destroyed either by
a torpedo or a mine. II is probable
that the question whether the cruis-

was provided with any protection
against submarines. will be put d.

When We considered adding moro
stories 10 the county building, We
found it would stand but three. 1t
would have cost about a million dol

few years the growth OF the city
would make that inadequate too.
