New Quarters Provided for City Officers
Extensive alterations at City Hall near completion will create a spacious, private suite for the Clerk of the Corporation Court with a public records vault, a records and marriage license office, and a direct passage into the court. The treasurer’s counter is now bank-like with added tax-book work space, and the mayor will move into the vacated court clerk’s office. A sanitary drinking fountain in the main lobby improves public convenience as other interior changes speed public business.
