s least 1000 people rendlly and int s which could be crcV ded at least BOG people. The land should belong to th - city and it should own the buildiD 6 upon it. The need of such building
 is demonstrated every week in GU
 gatherings Of various political pertie and other associations and particular! is 1t indicated by the.great attendance s at our open air concerts oo Wedneeda! 6 and Sunday evenings. when there is often 1000 to 5000 people present These concerts cannot be kept up bhroughout the winter in the open air ? but theb is the time above all others when they should be kept up for the
 benefit of our large element of visitors Phoenix now hes two bands of musicians
 that have made astonishing progress in
 operstio music and both are now far
 beyond the .'bress ber d" limit and far
 among orchestral,z I'm ueicisrs. A psvil-
 lion wouidieneble these entertainments
 thessrical companies, to give our city
 something better then 1t has known in
 this line during: the winter months
 Again such B building would afford g
 place for all sorts of public meetings
 snd be of general utility to far greater
 extent than any hall, for it could be SC
 constructed ss to be practically an open
 air pavilion in summer time and large closed hall in inoiement OF winter
 weather. Our City Coupoil would do we'll to permit the people of the city to vote upon the proposition to issue pavilion bonds. The rental of the building to the theatrical conpanies should pay the interest on enough bonds to put up the building.
