City Hall Offers
Offers for the present City hall on
North Main street are few and far
between, according to information
obtainable this morning. 1t is
definitely known. however, that one
real estate man only a few days ago
made a bona tide offer Of $4,000 to
a member OF the city council. This
offer was verbal one and not In the
form OF bid as required by the city
council.
1t is commonly understood that
members of the city council expect
to receive at least $4,000 for the
property in question. Real estate
men. however, are inclined to scofs
ct this figure for the reason that
they contend that a large amount
of money would have TO be spent be-
for the building would be adaptable
for business purposes.
On the other hand a number Of
taxpayers are expressing disapproSa
over the expenditure of any none,
at this time for new City hall. i
is their belief that, with the tor
floor vacated by the removal Of the
American Legion to the new state
armory on Center street, sufficient
room Is availa BILE for City hall pur
poses. 1t is pointed out that tht
court room could be moved to tn.
top floor and the city clerks offic.
extended into the present city cour
room.
Whether or not any action will b.
| taken when the city council meet
on next Tuesday evening September
Is. is problematical. IL no bids ar,
received, it Is probable that the mat
ter will be shelved, temporarily a
least.
