The new convention building at Kan
sas City is believed to be the best audi
ence room in America, if not the best
in the world. 1t is fireproof, or nearly
so, and is free from posts, pillars and
anything else that could obstruct the
view. The roofis supported by steel
work, constructed much the same as q
number of large bridges side by side,
and the balconies are hung from the
roof instead of resting upon supports
from below.
