the Rip-saw is strongly against the
erection OF a bobtailed city hall.
In other words, tits mot in favor
of cutting down q tho size of
the proposed building merely to
cut down the cost. { The proposed
structure should bel fully In har-
mony with the grouping plan for

cost is greater than tthe city is
warranted In mourning at the pres

providing the money and doing the
construction work. The. new city

future, as well as the present. Mere
desire to cut down the cost should
not be permitted to urduly influence
the planning OF the structure.
