Pl OFtl y N io DdSStu- Ma UT ". ikdS mond Crumb also pointed out that the present lessee, Judge William J. Malone. would have to be given a 30-day notice fefore his lease could be cancelled.
 The entire matter was left in the hands of a committee consisting of . .Councilmen Charles R. Anderson, William A. Hayes and w. E. Hough. who, with Mayor W Raymond Crumb were authorized to complete the transaction.
 Oncr for Old Town Hall
 The second offer was received from William F. Tracy of the real estate firm of Tracy and Driscoll. He informed the members of the coun- cil that he had client who would purchase tho old town hall on Main total payment in cash, This proposal was also referred to the committee with power to act in conjunction with Mayor W. Raymond Crumb. It will. however, be necessary to settle certain passway rights on the Dron- crty before the actual transfer O. the property is made.
 Roth Mir. Tracy and Mir. Hull. in submitting their offers. pointed out that it would be good business for the city to dispose of the two prop critics for the reason that the pur- chasers would erect buildings and make other improvements which would be incluGod in the grand list and consequently mean additional revenue to the city.
 Would Buy UnCas Fire station
 A. II. Kaschak, another local real tor. submitted an offer of $S,o0o for the North Main street fire station. his client also being willing to make a cash paymont for the total amount. This piece of property has front age of 3S feet on North Main street and a depth of 1o5 feet on one end land 100 feet on the other.
 MT. Kaschak also offered for the councils consideration piece Of property on Torryville avenue which he believed would make an ideal spot for the proposed new fire sta ton. His client, he pointed out, would be willing to trade proper ties if the council did not consider favorably the cash offer There is at present time a two-family house To- cated on the TerryNillo aVenue sit" which. of course. would have to first be removed before the building of the new fire house was started. This offer was also referred to the committce and Mayor w. Raymond Crumb. II is probable that nothing ; definite will he done on any Of tha proposals until report is made at the next council meeting on Tues day, September 3.
 City Hall Next?
 Mayor W. Raymond Crumb sug- gested that the three real estate men submit an offer for the pres ent city hall but none was forthcom- ing. The present council, however. has often expressed the desire of dsposing of the present building. which, in their opinion, would mak" available ample funds to cover the cor oHstruction of new city hall.
 Several months ago all of the city properties were put up for bid, but in spite of the fact that they were widely advertised no offers were re- ceived. Present facilities in the city hall are entirely inadequate for tn. handling of the city's business, tho present officials believe, and they believe the cost of making the nee
 cssary alterations would be prohbi
 tive. It is doubtful, however. wheth : CT any action will be taken on ; new city hall this year.
 To Change Polling Place Members of the city council las night decided to discontinue the us, of the Uncas fire station on Nortl Main street as a polling place, am in the future the North Side schOo , will be used for voting purposes } This change will become effective ar the primary election which will b, held on Tuesday, September 2f } For the past several years insulfj cient space has been provided fol the poll workers at the fire station ? and the change should greatly facili
 tate voting in the northern sectioI of the city.
 It is also probable that the use of the old town hall for voting rur. poses will be discontinued and vot. , ing machines set up in the auditor. ium of the south Side school O. Church street. The city has receiv. ed cash offer for the town hal - h.. |, ir ' mated, the change will be mad, necessary.
