Feb. 23.—(Special.)—Atlanta te considerably worried over the city hall question. Tile city papas have been ag itated on the subject for several years, but no steps of s tangible character have ever been token to secure tbe much cov eted building. Ever since the old city halt was glvan to ths state for a state «'Pltol Atlanta has been a tenant In va rious office buildings. At present the city officers are cramped up In what Is known as ths Chamber of Commerce building on Pryor street at the corner of Hunter. Tne building Is not only a horror of incon venience, but some of tb i . at*, capable engineer* in the city believe U to be un safe, and a constant menace to the Uvea of tbe occupants. There have been sev eral scares on account of eettUng floora and cracking walls, which caused the officiate to say hasty pftyers. and It would really be no great surprise to the com munity If the structure should collapse any day. But the city's officers have b-.-on in such a tlx, that although previously desired, the new city hall haa never been In eight, and la not now, unless It 1a put up py private enterprise. Within the past week the city has had two propositions by private cltltens to build a city hall to suit the public needs, on a long term lease, and In the extremi ty of her condition, the chances appear pretty sssd that M!f!
