SAYS MEXICO
NEEDS NEW
/ CITY HALL

The need of new city hall for
Mexico was emphasized by Mayor ].
w. Gallaher in an interview granted
to a Ledger representative Tuesday
morning. In speaking Of his plans
for the city, Mr.. Gallaher said he de-
sired to make it possible for each per-
son to discharge his duties with the
greatest possible efficiency and this
was impossible under the present con-
ditions. .ss Il
The present city hall is too small
and utterly unadapted for the purpose
for which it is being used. The mayor
has no Office and the quarters Of the
clerk and collector are inadequate.
Mr.. Gallaher wants q place where
each city officer may have an ofzfce
sos that he may, handle his work ef-
fieiently. 1T would be possible to
have fewer persons discharge the
workeof the city if they were housed
in a city halt which is modern. Il.
The Mayor spoke Of this matter to
the members Of the. council Monday
evening and it is probable that some
action will be taken soon, either to-
ward finding other quarters or toward
building a new city hall for Mexico.

MEXICO. AUDRAN COUNTY. MISSOURI THURSDAY
IS URGED TO
Be CANDIDATE
FOR REELECTION

Friends of Judge W. W. Bolts, who
has served two terms in the State
are urging him to allow
his name to be used as a candidate
for reelection. 1t is still about six
weeks until the names of candidates
must be made public and Judge Bolts
has not yet fully made up his mind
whether he will be a candidate or
not.
During his two terms in the House
Of Representatives he has made a
number Of friends in thecapitol and
accomplished much in House in
which his party was in the minority,
the Republicans out numbering the
Democrats with a ratio Of three to
one during his last term.
1t will be greatly to the advantage
of the people Of the State if the leg
islators for the next two years are
rpen Of experience in the government
tai affairs and acquainted with the
needs of the State as it is probable
that there will be new constitution
to deal with. For this reason Judge
Bolts feels that it is his duty to be
a candidate.

The increased amount of building
which is going on in Mexico this
spring has been pointed out by the
Ledger as andindicatione Of returning
prosperity. This opinion is borne
out by an article by George Wheeler
,Hinman,, editor Of the Chicago Her
aid Examiner. -
Mr.. Hinman points out the fact
that in ordinary times about 1885,
600 working men get their living
their wages, the money spent in the
retail stores by their families out Of
the nations building industry; about
100000 contractors get their profits
and about 125,00O professional men
architects, engineers, ETC., get their
commission and fees. When the in
dustry is half idle half of these
2,600, 900 men do not get money and
so do not spend it. But this is just
half Of the story. This number does
not include the large army Of men
who are kept busy supplying these
materials.
