Lindsay and others. They said that the propositions to be submitted to the people were gotten up in such shape that the voters would hardly know what they weer voting on. This was particu- larly true, they said of the $150,000 |appropriation for the purchase of @ site purchase which left the council free to any property it desired, | the half block back of the city hall owned by the Great Northern ine cluded They thought it unbusinesslike to plunge the city further in debt at the present time for public bulld- ings, until at least arrangements could be made with the county to erect a combined city and county, | building The councilmen argued that & new city hall was a crying neces- sity as a means of protecting the public records if for no other rea- son, and that the clty was well able to provide for the needed expendi« | ture.
