”Messrs. Richard M. Hunt, William R. Ware and Napoleon Le Brun have been appointed to select the best six of the 133 designs for the new City Hall in this city, submitted recently in competition. The municipal officers will then accept one of the six sketches thus called to their attention. This plan ensures the acceptance of a design that comes within five of being the best offered, and ensures nothing more.”
