THE CITY HALL The city hall, which is located on the northeast corner of Fourth and Harrison streets, was built in 1895 and cost $100,000.  It is a beautiful building architecturally, is built of Bedford stone and is absolutely fireproof.  On the gound floor is the police department, including the general offices and that of the chief; also assembly room, the desk sergeant's office, cell rooms and the office of the police judge.  The offices of the city clerk, treasurer, board of public works and health department are on the second floor.  A magnificent council chamber, the office of the city attorney and the engineering department occupy the third floor.  There is probably no other city in the state of Iowa that has a city building that will surpass this one.
