Chamber Committee Opposes City Hall Addition Plan
A chamber of commerce committee including Carter Dalton W B McEwen C E Diffendal Dr D A Stanton A E Tate and R K Stewart voiced opposition to the proposed city hall addition. They cited the $150 090 or up to 290 000 cost for a fire station and bonds as unaffordable, suggesting converting the American theater into a courtroom instead, a plan deemed too costly by architect Harry Barton.
