proved spending
$965,000 for the new of-
fices, with about
$800,000 of the bond
issue used for construc-
tion, about $28,000 for
furnishings and $50,000
to remodel the old city
hall for use as admini-
strative offices for the
volunteer fire depart-
ment and to house para-
medics and an ambu-
lance. The remainder of
the bond money went for
architectural fees, bond
fees and other expenses.
