CITY DOME. . a, City Property Committees Seems to Favor Rebuilding on it-- dope to Do a Lot With the Insurance Money. Aiter the meeting of the city pro- |perty committee yesterday afternoon, the members 'inspected the ruins of the 'city buildings' dome, and seemed uhinimous in the opinion that it would be a great' mistake to tear down all of the wooden base resting upon the stone walls. They were of the opinion that the steel portion of the dome should be erected on the wooden foundation, which consists of a great mass of heavy timbers, which, it is doubtiul, coulr! be secured at this time without an exiensive hunt all over the country. Only a few of the timbers are charred, and these are all the better for that, as the charring makes them all the more secure. Ald. Free said it would cost $500 to remove the tim- ber. One has no idea of the solidity of the base of the dome, until he walks through it. The wood is practically in as good condition as when it was erected over forty years ago. For this property committee will recommend that the dome be rebuilt, without tedring down the wooden base. It is not thought likely that the architect will recommend any such partial repair, but would advise rebuilding the dome from the stone walls. : The property committee hopes to be able to rebuild the dome, and heat and remodel the east wing of the ouildings- with the $13,600 insurance received for the damage done hy the fire of July 24th. The committee will meet next Thursday and definitely dé- cide what it will do. : The top of the burned dome will have to be made secure against rain. At present, it is boarded in, but the rain can easily find entrance. The city engineer, had this temporary roof put on, in the hope that werk on the dome would have been started before this.

"It is outrageous cruelty to ani- mals," said Mr. Angell recently, "for a big man like Tait to ride a horse about the country. JK ought to be stopped at once.
