Reitchel, at Once by During the whole of the sessior of the council yesterday afternoon Alderman Newton was remarkably silent. Only once in the two hours was his voice heard, and then merely as a protest against the new city hall not being erected on the site that he himself, without the support of any other member of the council, had that it should be erected. Alderman Hilditch, chairman of the committee on public works, reported that the committee were of opinion that no time should be lost in proceeding with the erec- tion of the city hall, and gave his reasons for suggesting such expediency. The site selected is next to the Wallace Block on Fultor sireet and the cost of the building is limited to $15,000. For this price it is hoped a build- ing can be erected that will serve all municipal purposes for the next ten years. Alderman Hilditch said the coun- cil might build a one-story building the full size of the lot, or a two story building that would have to be much smaller. The frontage on Fulton streét is sixty feet, and the alderman produced a plan of one story and two base- ments. The first of these would be 20 x 60 feet, the second 40 x 60 feet, and the third 100 x 60 feet. said NEW CITY HALL REACHES DEFINITE WORKING STAGE Site Settled for Fulton Street, Near Third Avenue— Excavation for $15,000 Building to be Started Day Labor for jail, police courts and all purposes connected with the police and fire departments, ard the floor above for the council cham- ber, library and some of the civic offices. The map was carefully gone over and the opirion arrived at that the excavation could be begun at once and the details of the plans be decided upon and worked out by the architect in the meantime. Alderman Smith movc:! that the excavation be done by days work and thet the superinterdent of public works have charge of it, and this motion carried. Before it was put to vote, however, Aldermen Newton had a few words to say. He fully realized at a former meeting of the council, he said, that he was “outclassed.”” He had then pro- posed that the site for the city hall should be at the top of Fulton street but he had not had even a seconder. After that overwhelming defeat he was rot going to make ary further objection; but he must still say that a mistake was being made in rot building the city hall on the more elevated spot, where it would be prominent ard catch the eye of the new comer to the city.
