02 11       Space Needs Watertown Municipal Building

A new concept for solving the city's space needs at the Watertown Municipal Building was proposed by Mayor Fred Smith at Tuesday evening's meeting of the public works committee of the Watertown Common Council.  Smith suggested the city purchase Tom's United Foods, located at 100 E. Cady St., renovate it and use it as offices for the city's administrative departments.  He said he would only pursue the plan with the support of the “full (common) council.”  Smith suggested that if the food store, located across the street from the municipal building, could be purchased for an acceptable price, it could be renovated for municipal offices.  That would leave the existing municipal building for police and fire needs.   WDT
