Government is not enough, the I <
council has been informed by the i
Commissioner of Public Build
ings, Washington, D. C., al* <
though that was the amount ask
ed for and approved by the vo- 1
ters. A piece 78 by 100 is now ’
wanted.
Discussed at the council meet- ’
ing Monday, it was decided on '
the recommendation of Mayor '
Lee Bettinger to determine first i
if the agency is positive that is
the amount they will need, be- I
foie the city takes any steps to- i
ward another special election
They are also going to ask for :
a definite date on the construe- 1
tion program for the $140,000
project, to determine if the vot- 1
ing on the additional Diece may
be combined with the general el
ection in April, to save the eost
of a specia election.

claimed as a part of the boat
I harbor project.
j The council has been advised
: that title to any land so reclaim
1 ed can be obtained by the city.
