HISTORIANS TO
KEEP OLD HALL
Suggestion That American
Legion Occupy Building
is Not Favored
STATE RECORDS
TO BE SEEN THERE

The Delaware Historical Society,
Il is said, does not look with favor
upon the suggestion that the old
City Hall property be used as head
quarters for Delaware Post No. /,
American Legion. and other veteran
organizations OF the city. As the So
ciety owns the building. and has al
ready made extensive plans for its
enlargement. the suggestion Is not
likely 10 meet with favor.
When the property was purchased
a number OF years ago the board OF
directors of the Historical Society
was bombarded with protests by
people who desired the preserva-
ton OF the historic structure. In
compliance with this almost uni
versal demand. It was announc-
ed by Colonel George A. Elliott.
president Of the Society. that the old
building would not only be pre-
served intact, but that the building.
Including the tower. would be re-
stored 20 its original shape. Accord
ing 20 Col Elliotsthe Historical So
ciety now has hundreds Of priceless
historical records stored in the old
brick building which were trans
ferred from Tenth and Market
streets to near West street and the
Parkway along the Brandywine. and
there are innumerable State records
which the Society is interested in
preserving. For this purpose. Il is
proposed to put an addition onto the
old City Hall building. and the en-
tire building made an imposing
structure. At the present time. these
historical records are inaccessible e
the public. During the stress OF
war and the subsequent depression
the directors have felt IL unwise tc
go ahead with the project. but Il 4,
likely that in the near future. tn,
plans Of the society win be carried
out.
The public comfort station sub
committee OF City Council has pro
posed TO the society that a moderI
public comfort station be incorpor
ated in the plans for the reconstruc
ton of the building. in response q
the public demand for such conven
fences. The directors have promise,
the committee 10 give the matte
their consideration. u is believes
this will help materially in solvinI
this problem.

was used. Its projectile may be
stopped in a sheet of steel with the
precision of a trolley car.
The gun is the invention OF John
