We would suggest that Council appoint a gommittee to confer with a committee to be named by the Board of Education with a view of determining how the scheme could best be worked out, ; CITY HALL ARCHITECTURE 'London, Ontario, and Edmonten, Alberta, are two progressive Canadian eities that have adopted the idea of a city hall similar in ap- pearance and general lay-out to a well ar. anged, substantial office building, Both cities have city halls, or more correctly municipal office buildings, that are. the last word in efficiency and convenience, but which' look no more like the old type of civic build- ing that the old stage coach resembles the modern automobile, London is the latest convert to the office building idea, having formally opened its new civic offices on Wednesday of this week, Commenting on the new order and with par- ticular reference to London's handsome new building, the Hamilton Herald says; "London has had the good sense to under- stand that a city hall is a place of business + and its now building has been designed simp- lyasa. ome business block, The sav- ing in e., ...e for the frills that are absent and the increased space and accommodation will amply recompense the city for any sacri- fice of sentimental considerations, We have grown into the habit of spendipg millions on what are not always attractive or artistic decorations of a more or less aesthetic char- acter, and have forgotten that the greatest beauty is use, and that the utility of a city hall can be made beautiful and demonstrated on lines of business a swell as on lines of ornament. = London's new city hall is a very handsome block and its solid but well-propor- tioned design will offend neither the citizens . mor their visitors from other places." Perhaps Oshawa may find the gnswer to its city hall problem by adopting Something of the same nature as London's new edifice or the one not unlike it erected a few years ago by the city of Edmonton, At any rate we would much prefer to see a clean-cut,busi- ness-like structure of the office' building type, than the old time city hall, with tower, clock, gables, big auditorium and other things that were once regarded as essential parts of a city hall. By all means let us have 8 building that is good to look upon but let "THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1928 us also keep in mind that a city hall is more TH = H g i jh He did not threaten the delinquent with the terrors of the law, but his mysterious hint might easily suggest all manner of trouble, and so the cheque was sent by next mail, Very often it ia just as important te know how to say a thing as to discover what to say.
