City Hall Site. The city council will submit to tho voters n proposition to issue $22,000 for tho purpose of purchasing a site and erecting n building for n city hall. Tho former bonds were for $15,000, which covered the cost of the building to bo erected on tho Front street lot already owned by tho city. There has been, however; considerable objection to tho Front street site, the objectors claim Inir that tho buildinir should bo erected cm a more "showy" location. To over come this objection, it is now proposed to make tho bonds $22,000, thus nllow- irig $6,000 or $7,000 for another site.
