Abstract
"In a stone in the foundation of the city hall on the left hand side of the entrance on going in there is a small round copper plate bearing the statement that its location is at an elevation above sea level of just 1067 feet. This was placed there many years ago and since then there is a supplement to the effect that anyone caught monkeying with the plate will be fined $500. It has never been disturbed. But it seems that some one was slightly mistaken or else conditions have changed considerably in accordance with the theories of scientists regarding the alterations in topography of given localities."
