CHve Lots for City Hall
; The Madras Townsite company
has announced its intention of
donating two lots to the city as a
site for the erection of a city
hall and jail, the location of the
property having not been defi
nitely decided as yet. This point
will be decided by a committee
which was selected at the
last council meeting. The city
will be given the choice lots now
remaining unsold. While it is
not probable that the city will
undertake the construction of a
town hall and other buildings in
the immediate future, the lots
will be deeded to the city as a
reservation for future needs.
