every part of the building with the
exception OF the township room was

Search of the old records revealed
the fact that the City Hall was built
N l88O-81 and the building has had
no general repairs that included all
parts of the building during the 80
years Of its existence until these pres
ent repairs were made. The work
s practically complete with the ex-
ceptlon of redeccration of the various
rooms: The building has been equip
ped with toilets and lavatories to con-
form to the requirements of the State
boards. The jail, not yet complete
will have a cement floor and side
walls: Lighting in the council
chamber is fine and the arrangements
OF the room make it very convenient.
The heating plant that has been in
stalled keeps the entire building even

tlrely comfortable in every part. Up
stairs, cloak rooms and toilets for
OH ladies and gentlemen have been
installed and when the assembly
room is redecorated it will make the
best looking and most comfortable
places for large gatherings in town.
The Firemen are all well pleased with
the improvements in their quarters
and especially in the engine room.

taneous get away when a fire alarm
is turned in. The installation of an
adequate fire alarm which will come
in the near future, will give Wauseon

The City Hall, when the repairs now
in process are complete will be a
building in which every citizen of
Wauseon may take justifable pride
