COUNCIL DECIDES
| TO BUY CITY LIGHT
OFFICE BUILDING

Purchase of the property on South
Eighth street, now used as offices for
the Municipal Light and Power plant,
from the Dickinson Trust company,
for $22,500 was ordered by the city
council, at special meeting Monday
night
The city has held an option on the
building, since July, 1916, when the
building was first used by the light
plant, but as this option expires on
July Is, a hurried action was neces-
sary, to take advantage Of the offer.
1t was announced that the Dickin-
son Trust company had received an
offer for the purchase Of the property
at 100000 and that unless the city
acted upon its option, it would be sold
at private sale. The trust COM
pany, however, kept the letter of the
contract, and the offer was held out
to the city until the expiration of the
option.
The money for the purchase of the
building, will be taken from the light
fund, in spite of the fact that several
heavy drafts have been made on the
fund for the purchase of new boilers
and other equipment at the plant The
/ SCl4tA al lOSdIAOA VI LIS duU
the difficulty of being able to find an
other place for the Offices of the com
pany were the chief reasons for the
purchase Of the building, aside from,
the bargain at the price offered BY
the company.
Councilman Waterman, who, with
Councilmen Williams and Burdsall in
spected the building when the option
was taken, in 1916 declared that the
value of the building had easily in
creased to $4,000 since that time
Councilmen Won Pein, Ford, Thatch
er, Waterman, Schneider, Golden anc

Hast nights meeting to attend the
meeting of the Indiana Municipa
