City Hall Plan

Old City Hall Plan
Only the clock tower is saved in this old City Hall proposal presented Tuesday to the Coty Council. The proposal, jointly made by Alan Liddle, James Harris and William Reed, local architects, calls for tearing down most of the old City Hall and building a new structure for a performing arts auditorium. The new structure would span Commerce Street and have its main entrance on Broadway, near the old Elks Temple at left. TNT 05-10-1967 A6.

Toni Hale, an auto mechanic student at Bates, the Voc School is a single parent of Tiffany Morris (5), was chosen the Automotive Dept. Bates student of the year last year, and after class she is a work study student and works in the school office as a secretary. She has been in the auto program for a year and a half, and is a good enough student that the instructor uses her to teach newer students to the class. One of the major problems in this trade is that the instructor said NO employer will give a trained woman mechanic a chance. But that doesn't deter Toni, she wants to specialize in Electrical problems and Tune-up work. Her instructor is trying to steer her into the Service Writers position, but she wants to be in the pits. She chose this profession because she got tired of guys ripping her off when she took her car in for repairs and the cost of getting it repaired. She is pleased with herself and the way the car runs after she gets through repairing it, she said it's a challenge. She said the course is not easy but you will never know you can do it until you try, that's why she did. She said she doesn't listen to the males in the class, and their egos,... In the photo she is making a mixture adjustment to a cars carburetor and checking the reading on the Sun Scope.
