President Stilson Hutchins, OF the company
that owns Convention Hall, had an interview
yesterday with President Ross. at which Build
ing Inspector Entwisle was present, to see If
some arrangement cannot be made whereby
the company can introduce stage scenery into
the hall for use in entertainments. The law
expressly provides that no building with an
auditorium more than four feet above the
pavement shall be fitted up with theater equip
ments of that description, and when the build
ing inspector learned of the contemplated i'm
proyements to Convention Hall he wrote an
order stopping the work.
He contended that the regulation was to
insure safety, and that as the hall is strictly
flreproof there could be no necessity shown
for enforcement Of the provisions in this case.
He also said the intention was 10 put in NOV
able scenery and such as can be taken down
in two hours time, and that the introduction
of scenic effects is necessary to hide the bare
walls
