OLD CITY HALL TIME CAPSULE Mayor Patterson announced that, acting on informa- tion provided by Councilman Markel, the Director of Public Works had recovered the time capsule from the Old City Hall, 217 North Main Street. The box was dis- played, (a square copper box, soldered, measuring 11" x 11" x 4"). Mr. Wolford reported that it had been located earlier in the day in the former office of the Finance Director in the Old City Hall; that it was dated November 20, 1935, and had the name of William Smith written on it; and that two pennies, dated 1928 and 1929, had fallen through a small hole in the box. Following discussion, it was moved by Councilman Evans, seconded by Councilman Griset, and unanimously approved, to schedule a public hearing for May 7, 1973, at 7:30 P.M., in the Council Chambers, at which time the unopened time capsule would be pre- sented to the members of the Santa Ana Cultural Heritage Commit- tee to be opened as a community ceremony. The Mayor instructed the Clerk to invite the members of all City Boards and Commis- sions to attend the ceremony, and to post notices inviting the general public. It was the consensus that in addition to open- ing the time capsule, the Cultural Heritage Committee should be requested to prepare a similar time capsule for the new City Hall; and that during the public hearing a determination could be made regarding the disposition of the Old City Hall time capsule. Mr. George Hale, Chairman of the Bowers Museum Board, suggested that the box and its contents be made available to the Museum for display and retention.
