The city hall went through like a flash With bat two dissenting rotes and a bond election called for Sept. 25th. In disenssing the motion to pass the ordinance warranting the election, many members of the connoil gave expression to their views. Judge Foster said : "I am greatly in favor of having a new city hall, but from discussions with a number of citi Zens, 1 believe that the finances of the city do not warrant the issnance of bonds at this time.
