Mary's Square Bids Soon to Be Asked The proposal to build a garage beneath St. Mary's Square received new impetus yesterday. These were the developments: 1 City Attorney John J. O'Toole told Mayor Robin son that 1he city could legally contribute $500,000 toward the cost of building the proposed garage, out of the $5,000,000 bond issue voted last November for off-street parking. 2 Mayor Robinson said he would request the Park Commission to call for bids "as expeditiously as possible" to get the project under way.

COST OLT1.INKD. The new underground garage was proposed last by Carlton H. Wall, president of the Union Square Garage Corporation and the newly formed St. Mary's Square Garage Corporation. Wall, presenting his plan to Mayor Robinson, said his firm would finance $1,000,000 of the $1,500,000 needed to build the garage, while the city would provide the rest.

Under Wall's plan the city would own all common stock in the garage, which would revert entirely to city ownership after construction indebtedness had been paid. BIDS PLANNED. Advised of OToole's clearance of bond funds for the project, Chief Administrative Officer Thomas A. Brooks said that once the park commission agreed to proceed, bids would be drawn to include the provision that the city defray $500,000 of construction costs. Brooks said the city's similar earlier venture, the Union Square Garage, had proved such a success that its entire building cost would be paid off within thirty years instead of the fifty years originally anticipated.
