In calling the meeting to order
Mr.. Scott states that it was nee

city and have applied for relief la

w. M. Parker was called upon
and he gave a BRIEF account Of the

Council had written to the Post

space for a postoffice in the pro-
posed city hall building. The de-
partment stated that bids for this
purpose would be considered along
with others when the lease expir-

DR.. H. F. Henneman said that
knowing that very soon it would
be necessary to provide more room
in the school the proposition Of
building now was well worth con-
sidering. He stated that the Senior
high school building was built in
1912 without basement, and that
the structure was not fire proof.
IT was his personal opinion that
Ut would be well to build a new
building now and that the two
buildings should be in close prox-
unity. He stated that If they wished
to provide work for the men on re-
