The mew addition, which will be a sepa- rate structure connected by a corridor with the main hall, will be located at the west end of the building. The cost of the unit will be about $100,000. No bond issue nor special ap tlon will be~ necessary to provide the funds. There is ti- clent money in the surplus fun pay the entire cost, it was announced yesterday. Louls J.
