A CITY BUILDING (Continued from page 1.) a city hall. From what we are able to ascertain from the various members of the council, they are all of one frame of mind and that is that they expect to erect a city hall that will be a credit to our city and one that will fill the bill for years to come. For the past twenty years Decatur has been practically without fire protection and the business men who have vast interests at stake have been pressing the council to take some action in this respect. With a new city hall the city dads will be able to put in the necessary equipment and will be also able to care for the same as it should be taken care of. There is no doubt in the minds of every fair minded citizen that the council is at this time tsking a step in the right direction. Upon motion by Martin the council concluded to send City Electrician Mylott to Chicago this month to take in the big electric show and thus permit him to grasp some new ideas that may be of importance in the end to the city. The following l£ls were then read and allowed: C. & E $389.66 ID. F. Teeple 102.86 F. J. Hyland 22.35 iWm. Kitson 8.00 !C. W. Dorwin 8.16 |F. Spuller 5.50 jWm. Burkhead 9.50 iVv’m. Burford 10.50 !wm.
