Gallipolis Plans New Municipal Building and Legion Hall
Gallipolis officials and American Legion committees, with architect Ben J. Jones, plan a 50 by 70 foot concrete block building on the present lot with a 30 by 70 foot Legion hall on the second floor. About 8,000 dollars is on hand of an estimated 45,000 dollar total, possibly rising to 12,000. Plans call for a 30 by 50 foot fire department room, a court room, storage, a waterworks office, and a 20 by 40 foot one story garage in the rear. The project will include gas heating and a new sidewalk with landscaping. Plans proceed to WPA and state offices for approval, with further meetings planned.
