TO MAKE EXPO OYER.
Plan Of Hennepin Delegates in the.
House in Compromise Audi
torium Bill.
Liberal Proposition Of John De
Laittre Would Mean $780,
600 for Auditorium.

The Hennepin house delegation met at
noon to-day and voted in favor Of a bill
to authorize bond issue Of 100000 for
the completion of the courthouse. and a
second issue Of 100000 for an auditorium.
Inc delega tion's idea Is that the exposi-
tion building should be purchased and
tnat 1t might be so repodeled as to in
clude both an auditorium, and armory.
Ihe $500, 900 proposition will come to the
mousse as an amendment to the senate bill.
Wnlch authorized an issue Of $40O,O 900. A
new Dill will be necessary to authorize the
audltor1um bonds and Messrs. Shearer,
Gillette and Shepard have been appointed
committee to draft the bill, which will
pc introduced Monday morning. These
propositions are regarded as a compro-
mise. On the final vote Messrs Girling,
smith and SFosseen voted against them
ana they Will SO vote on the floor of the
mouse. However, they will probably not
speak against the measures, altho no
promise to that effect has been made
Mr.. Shearer, speaking to the delegation
said that he had had a talk with John
Dela1ttre and that Mr.. Delaittre had told
him that he was opposed to the construc-
tion of an auditorium within the walls of
the county building, but that he believed
Minneapolis should have a public hall such
as that contemplated. He added that
he would be one of twenty men to sub
scribe $4,000 for that purpose and said
he thought he could secure the other
nineteen. If this is done, with 500, 900
from the bond issue, it would give 5000, 900
for the erection of an auditorium, a sum
which would be ample, provided the ex-
position property should be bought.
