City Hall Cannons Moved
Waco Times-Herald
October 1, 1929
The two cannon which have stood guard on the city hall lawn for the past years will soon be moved away to resume their watchful vigil at a more suitable place, city authorities announced yesterday.
In fact, one of the cannon has already been transferred to the courthouse lawn, where it may be seen now. The other will be moved there this week, City Manager McAdams said yesterday. The guns were donated to the city by the American legion and individuals of Waco and are in the safekeeping of the city.
As soon as the new city hall is completed they will be moved back to their proper place to stand guard before the new structure. One of the guns was captur(ed) during the late war and the other is an old Confederate gun donated several years ago.
