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.

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

that there will be no tax imposed on
manufacturing capital.

that "oodles" of gold are to be found

phenomenon of a double rainbow, and
had proved to them that there was gold
in abundance at one end of one of
them. One end of the bow rested
somewhere in the South Hills and the
other came to an abrupt stop In Lib

the large building at Ninth street, oc
cupied by the Pittsburgh branch of the
