Original Toronto Star caption: Save-the-Old City Hall adherents floodlit the west side of the building last night and began scrubbing off the grime with water and detergents. As the crowds gathered to investigate; others handed out appeals for support to retain the downtown landmark. Fate of the Hall may be known sometime today as metro council again debates the Eaton Centre plan to demolish it as part of a $260 million redevelopment.
