GETS GOOD hint
FROM NEW YORK
BUILDING INSPECTOR. HoUGHToN
RETURNS FROM EASTERN TRIP.
Will Urge Council to Adopt Measure
, Requiring Purchaser of Real Estate
to File Report of Deal, With His
Name and Address Theater Orili-
nances Well Enforced in East.

Nothing that saw on my tour Of
the east impressed me as SO worthy Of
adoption by this city, as a measure in
force in New York city, which re-
qutres the purchaser Of real estate to
report the fact, giving his postoffice
address Of agent or attorney if the
purchaser is a nonresident Thus
remarked Building Inspector. J. G.
Houghton this morning. "a penalty
of $50 is imposed for failure to file
such reports and the law appears to be
obeyed to the letter.
: "Such a measure would be Of almost
inestimable value to the city, and will
urge the city council to take the mat
ter under consideration. Often we have
spent days in examining the records
of the county and city to locate the
owner Of real estate and many times
our search has been in vain. under
stand that the health. department and
other branches Of the city government
work because there is no way of. ascer-
tanning the addresses Of the owners of
certain premises.
CALL the eastern cities are giving
much attention to theater ordinances
and their general building ordinances
as well. z" The Iroquois theater fire in
Chicago and the Baltimore and Roch-
ester fires have taught many valuable
lessons. New York has a stringent
theater ordinance and the officials tell
me that it. is enforced to the letter.
tits a pleasure to go thru such place
as the new Hudson theater. exam
ined every detail under and above the
stage and on both sides Of the pro-
scenium wall, and could not sug-
gest single Improvement. Not only
is. the building fire proof, but it has
twenty-five exits, and the employees
have regular fire drills.
1.-THE convention Of building COM
missioners was an interesting one. It
was decided to prepare a uniform
building law, a model theater ordi-
nance, and a short building code for
the use ofesmaller cities which have
no building inspection departments
Mr.. Houghton was elected one Of
the vice presidents of the association.

/. WORD FOR AUDITORIUM
Spoken by Rev. G.. L. Morrill, In His Ser
.@.-:.- v,,ora: Nae%ordov 2.

Spoken by Rev. G.. L. Morrill, In His Ser
- mon, Yesterday.
] In his sermon yesterday on "Delilah
Up to Date" Rev. G. L. Morrill,, at the
Peoples church in the Masonic Temple,
mentioned the subject Of music hall or
auditorium, now prominently before the
people of Minneapolis. He said:
The Bible is not only book of history and
morality but of life and literature. It has in
spired the poet. painter and sculptor as no other
source ever did: In music 1t has given us the
Creation" 'Elijah," Messiah" and Samson
and Delilah."
Saint-Saen's immortal work was recently su-
perbly given with the Minneapolis Symphony or
chestra. It is a matter Of congratulation that
public spirited citizens have at lest devised a
way to secure music hail. centrally located,
which will be able to accommodate the masses
for musical and other meetings.
Some rich man who has made his millions in
Minneapolis has just missed the chance Of immor-
taIizing himself by generously giving the city
an auditorium which, named after him, would
have kept MIN in perpetual remembrance.
