  • Fort york guard; silhouetted against the lights at Toronto's new city hall; put on a demonstration last night for the thousands of persons who visited the $31 million building. Bands and criss-crossing searchlights added to the festive feeling. Though the lower part of the spectacular building is not really finished; yet; the people appeared satisfied with it. Said one of visitors: I think it is just beautiful.
