that practically all of the leading
municipalities in the state either have
already provided for such buildings.
or are making Their plans for construc-
ton. A movement has been under
way for several months looking tow
ard the erection of such building.
On a motion by Mayor Hartman
the commission voted to defer action
of submitting this proposition to the
voters until it has been presented to
the different civic and commercial
bodies of the city and receives some
action from them. The commission
made it plain that the movement
meets with its approval, but the atti-
tude of property owners and taxpayers
represented in various organizations
will be ascertained before any definite
effort in favor of this long-deferred
improvement
The building would answer num-
Der of purposes, if suggestions made
by members of the commission are
carried into effect. 1t would serve
as a memorial to the soldiers cf all
wars and to the pioneers of the coun-
ty, and it would also serve a long
felt want in the way of community
building. ;-
Action by the voters on these is
sues will be decided in the special ell
ection on November 81. when the ell.
ectorate will also decide whether the
IL mil levy may be exceeded.
