Ever since the baming of their plant in this city last winter , there lias been some doubt as to whether Mr. iMtcbard would remain on tnis market, The only obstacle in the way - was the jtecoring of a bulldiog , in - which to do business, and this obstacle was in the way np to yesterday afternoon, when the necessary amount of capital forerect- lmrsuch a building was raised. Some -days ago tb proprietors cf the dlfiereht tobacco warehouses got together and I proposed to raise the money necessary to erect such a building and equip It with the proper machinery .i Mr. W. ; E. Bor den, cashier of the Bank of Wayne, pnt himself at the , head of the movement, end yesterday afternoon succeeded in raising 7,000 by subscription from both the tobacco men and business . men for the erection and equipment of the build ing. , ' " The board of aldermen at a special aeseion last night decided to accept the plans and specifications for a new city hall and market submitted architect W. P. Rose. The plan decided upon Is to erect the city hall in the center of the city's lot on East Center street with an alley-way of thirty five feet on either side leading back to the rear, where the new market will be - located.. The ground floor or cellar of the city hall building will be used for a prison and for the heating apparatus. On the second floor will be the court room and the offices for the several city officers. . A hallway twelve feet wide will run 'the lenghth of the whole building. On the third floor will be the committee rooms and the city halt, which will have a seating capacity of 600. A tower for a fire bell and town clock will adorn the roof. Fifteen thousand dollars has been set aside for the erection of this building, but the board is determined to put up a buildinjr which will be an ornament to the city, even if the amount should be much more than that. , - -An Old Bint of Freedom.
