"Old Copy Book Found Under City Hall"
"While P.G. and E. Co. employees were crawling under the City Hall this morning, they discovered an old writing copy book, which had evidently lain under the floor for many years. The name on the book was Lottie O'Donnell and the date July 12, 1875. The Book is in a fine state of preservation. It was turned over to George Alves, who will place it in the exhibit in the new Benicia museum that is being assembled in the City Hall."
