Original Toronto Star caption: Some aldermen are all wet. Holding an umbrella, Alderman Reid Scott sits next to Alderman David Smith--and a bucket to catch the water leaking through the roof--last night in the executive aldermen's offices in Toronto's $31 million City Hall. About $62,000 has been spent to fix the roof but leaks still stain walls and make rugs squish.
