ESTIMATES ON NEW CITY HALL IS THE FIRST STEP Probable Cost of Joint Office Building Is Now Sought Appointment of a committee to determine the cost of securing the services of an architect to estimate on the probable expense of erecting a joint city and county building was the first definite step decided upon by city and county commissioners at their session yesterday afternoon in the council chamber. Commissioner K. Z. Gross. Com missioner Charles W. Burtnett, of city council, and Commissioner C. C. Cumbler, president of the county board, were appointed by Mayor Daniel L,. Keister on this commit tee. As soon as they are ready to report another joint conference will be called. It was decided the best move would be to find the cost of securing an architect. It is understood the city and county will divide this cost equally, but a State law requires that in case the county commissioners intend to spend more than a certain amount of money for any work or material, bids must be asked. If an architect can be secured without such a pro ceeding much time can be saved, the commissioners explained. The officials decided an architect should be furnished with an ap proximate estimate of floor space needed for city and for county pur poses, the figures to be as nearly ac curate as possible, after which he would be asked to submit tentative plans and an estimate of the prob able cost of the structure. Whether the site of the present courthouse can be used for the building will be another problem for the architect, officials said. It was evident from the opinions expressed at the conference that the city and county commissioners do not con sider seriously the selection of a site elsewhere, although there is much public sentiment favoring the erection of the joint building on a stte facing Capitol Park. Ttemoval of the county jail to an industrial farm to be established on the outskirts of the city was sug gested, but the county commission ers intimated that the expense in volved might be too great and they would not care to consider such a plan now it the cost would be too There was much discussion of the proposal made by county officials that the city should pay one-half the estimated value of the present courthouse site if it is decided to rebuild on it. In such an event the city would be compelled to ad-.l about ? 150.000 for ground to its share m the cost of the building. Ml the officials agreed that the need for a new structure is urgent and that it would he a big savings to taxpayers if a joint structure erected. The total cost of the build ing with complete equipment may reach $1,000,000 it was predicted yes terday. The county's share of this amount can be raised without a vote bv the people but a loan \ote will be necessary in the city. Pershing Awards 24 Service Crosses Washington.

CAPITOL WAITS FOR DECISIONS Wilson Hill and Revenue Pol- Willson Hill and Revenue Pol icy Furnish Themes Capitol Hill was awaiting settlement of two big questions in connection with the Legislature with considerable in terest to-day and on the result of one will depend whether the appropriations are sent to the House next week. One of the big matters discussed was what the Governor would do about the Willson bill, repealing the third-class city nonpartisan law. The GoyCrnor has until Wednesday to dispose of the measure, it was stated to-day, and there have been many protests made against approval with as many re quests for approval. It seems to be generally believed that the appropriation limit this year will be the record-breaking figure of $90,000,000 and if that figure is ap proved by the Governor after he re ceives estimates from Auditor General Snyder the appropriation bills will he put into shape and started out within a week. Chairman W. J. McCaig. of the House committee, was busy to-day looking over the lists and getting ready to report out bills when he got the word. It is probable that the Snyder series of bills to stiffen up the State tax and license collection methods which are In the House will be pushed through next week in order to facilitate collec tions. The general opinion prevails that there will be no tax imposed on manufacturing capital.
