The offer of the building was
made by John E. Davis, who eX-
planned the proposition at council
meeting this week. Councilmen
decided nothing could be done
about it until after election rs
the personnel of the board might
be changed
Davis said the building is 80 by
65 feet and is constructed of REIN
forced concrete. He suggested that
the city pay for the property in
10 annual payments with the un-
paid balance to bear a percent
interest. This, he said, would
work out at approximately the
same amount of monthly payment
as the city now pays for rent
for their present quarters.
He pointed out that the city
could sell the building for more
than the price he offered II 1t
should be decided to build a mere
pretentious building at a future
date.
No date has been set for the
band election to raise funds for
the city's share Of the $l750OO cost
