No demand was mad* however, for the payment of SIS out standing on tamo. Evidently the ownen of the bond kept it as e souvenir. However, the remarkable feature is the revelation that the present city building sesetod fat ISM evidently cost only SIMM whereat it it es timated that it will eesi SIMM to repair the tower on it alone. The bond carries the nota tion that it is ene of a series issued in conformity with act of the General Assembly of South Carolina entitled "An Act to authorise and empow er the Town Council of Cam den.

The tower on the City Hall, long a Camden land mark, has been found to be in a very dangerous condi tion and will either have to be repaired or torn down, City officials have announced. It is estimated that it will take at least $15,000 to make it safe and', since it has no utility value, members of City Council said Monday, that in view of the City’s financial condition they did not know that this outlay would be justified. \ • City Manager Lott Rogers said had been discovered that the of 12 by 12 sills which sup- the tower were in very bad condition and those on the east side in particular had practically rotted away. . The chy called in two contrac- ors to examine the tower and x>th made the same report—that it was in a very dangerous con dition and that something would have to be done at once to make safe. If the tower should be repaired it would also be necessary to re pair the moulding on the outside and put on a new roof. Members of Council said they were In a quandary as to what to do. They fully recognize the sen timent which the people of the city have for the old tower which has stood in its present location since 1888. At the same time they feel that in the city's present ff- Methodist women of the city are busy preparing for their an nual bazaar, which will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 10, at the farm market building. •Warm Wosithor Although snowy weather ex tended over parts of Colorado, Wyoming.
