In company with Milward Adams, a
reporter made a partial tour of the
Auditorium. The impression created
WAS that there is more room i'll the
building than there is outdoors. That
is the only serious objection to the
structure.
"Did you ever stando on the twentieth
story of n buildiug?" asked Mr.. Adams.
No; of course not, for the simple
reason that such buildings exist only
in the imagination of aspiring archi-
%tccts."
MI. Adams said nothing in response
to these in%sinuations, but led the way
upward. The pair travelled the first
lao feet without difficulty ON an elva-
tor which made no stops until the
tenth floor was reached. The next
ninety feet jaunt was different-de-
cidedly so. The towerof the A%uditoxium
is a great building of itself. 1t would
compare ~favorably with the best
structures i'll New York City. Each of
the seven floors of the tower proper
