of Shawnee this forenoon succeeded in
having what is known as the audi
torium bill" advanced to third read
ing on the House calendar, subject to
amendment and debate. The title of
the bill authorizes any city of the first
class to appropriate from its general
revenue fund a sum not exceeding
$4,000 for the erection of building
for city purposes. It's real purpose,
however, is to permit the city Of To-
peka to use a balance IN its coal hole
fund toward the construction of
convention hall. Seaton of Atchison
opposed the proposition to advance un
less he should be assured that the bill
would be amended so as to confne it's
application to Topeka only. Mckeever
gave this assurance and accordingly
the bill was advanced.
