CITY COUNCIL At the adjourned meeting of th»

council Monday evening the buildiMr committee. Aldermen Moeglein,. Turner and Bracke, reported that they had examined the citv hall. They re­commended that the city bath room remain in its present place and that a cement floor be placed therein, that the large doors on the east aide of th» first floor be walled up and storm be placed on all windows, that floor in some places be repaired; that if a vault be built it be placed in th» southwest corner of the building. A. plan for a vault designed by E. J. Ring was submitted. The committee-reported that the present hot air plant did not properly heat the oity hall, but made no recommendations as to a new system.

Th« estimate on a vault 6x8 feet, extending from basement to roof, was $525, on cement floor $16, on plaster­ing repairs $14. and brickwork $38. The vault doors would probably oosfe $100 extra.

It was finally decided to reject all bids for steam heating.

The building committee was author- 1

ized to make necessary repairs, except vault, and Alderman Peterson was in­structed to draw vault plans.

The building committee is also to have the hot air furnace examined and report the cost of necessary repairs.

The council meets in regular immioa next Monday evening.
