MAYOR LEO WHITNEY‘3 Euggestion that something be done about the old Waterloo City Hall is in our opinion, & move that should have been made long ago. x Mr. Whitney pointed out that Itlpite reasonably heavy exâ€" penditures within the Hall, there is practically no departâ€" ment with enough space to function efficiently. Our mayor wants to wait unâ€" til such time as Waterloo is able to clear itself of some of the heavy debt now being carried.
