City+Hall+opening

=//__**Finally, City Hall is Completed!(1917)**__// =

=**The citizens of Geelong quietly celebrated the opening of the completed City Hall on June the seventh on 1917.Work started on the city Hall in the 1850’s but delayed due to lack of funds. From the very start there were debates over where this important building will be placed. About 400 people assembled out the front of the hall at 2:30 pm. When the opening was performed barriers were placed across the entrance to the hall, and only those with passes were allowed onto the steps. The weather remained just fine until just before the end when a light shower passed over to put a dull light on the very successful day.**=
