Original Toronto Star caption: A magnificent new setting; but the same old fights dominated city council today at its first meeting in the $31 million city hall opened yesterday. But before getting to an old favorite - should Nazis be allowed to speak in public parks? - council did raise a few new sparring points based on their new quarters: Whether cords should separate them from the public galleries; and whether a single elevator to the council chamber should be reserved for councillors.
