ANSWER: For the purpose of purchasing land for a site and con- n TnWTnrrp,l t, milling and for increasing, improving and' Mrrir11rrn enlarging the city light urg system. Q. How much is the entire proposed project to cost?.. A. Approximately $53,000. I). What portion of this will he expended b the federal government what p'ortion h the city? A. Approximately $20, (SKI by the federal government and ap. proximately $35,hn by the city. t what point in Ka)svillc will the land be Q. purchased? A. Present plans call for purchase of a tract of land on the east side of Main street, between Locust and lme streets, and extend--m- g 112 feet east from Main street,,. (). Where will the proposed municipal building be erected on this property and what will be done with the remaining land in the proposed purchase? , A. Present plan calls for the erection of the proposed municipal building in the center of the block. The present library building will be remodeled to bouse the fire truck and city truck and equipment, and will be used for general workshop purposes. It is proposed that-a- n area behind the municipal building, and extending, northward, will be used for an auto parking lot, eliminating all parkmg on the east side of Main street. This will show the building and grounds to better advantage and will relieve a congested traffic condition which would exist when the state road commission puts through its four-lan- e highway. The small remaining area will be landscaped. Q. How large will the building be, and what will be included in the proposed new structure? A. The proposed building will be approximately IflO feet in length and 70 feet wide. It will contain city offices, council room, assembly room for public meetings and club gatherings, a kitchen and library. Q. Will the city property tax be increased through these Improvements? A. A thorough study has been made of the city finances by the council and by auditors recently, employed by the city. The results of this study have' revealed that the proposed program can be financed without any increase of taxes on city property. The present city, budget has provided a $5,KK contingent fund, most of, which mrfy be applied, on this project. In past years. this fund has been used for various city projects, such s improvement of the city water works, extension of water mains, extension of the lighting system, street and sidewalk improvements, purchase of a fire truck and other miscellaneous improvements. . .With all of these departments in good operating condition at the present time, it is felt that a part of this contingent fund may now be devoted to the proposed city improvement project. Sufficient funds will remain In the contingent account to take care of any contingencies which may arise in the above mentioned departments. , To provide further for needs which might arise in the various citys obligations will be greatly decreased by the retirement in 1911 of a contract 'to purchase water, amounting to approximately $300 per year, and the retirement in 194(1 of theicityg waterworks bonds in the amount of $2300 per year. Q. Will the proposed project result in an increased maintenance problem to the city? A. The city at the present time is paying approximately $300 per year in rent for its present city offices and library. This saving will amply provide for maintenance and upkeep. Q.. Why is the proposed project of timely importance? A. With the national defense program absorbing a large number of the unemployed, WPA projects are being limited. Officials of WPA have expressed a desire to go forward with the proposed city project and it ia therefore necessary to act while this federal aid is still avail- Infants Funeral Held on Sunday (Special to The Reflex.)
