long-feIt want for modern amusement
hall iii Burlington, and for 20 years it
has served its purpose well. 1t was
opened on Monday night, February 24,

acting as Mr.. H0wards' agent Mr.. How

gone to that institution. K. B. Walker
and his son, w. Il. Walker, were for some
ime the lessees Of the auditorium and
l6 years ago the latter assumed the
management. Shortly after his death

WOULD EXTEND THE

AssembIyman Whitcomb Wants to En-
large Territory Forbidden to Saloons

At the meeting of the assembly COM
mittee on licenses yesterday Assembly
man Whitcomb proposed that the pro-
hibition district of the city be extended,
and promised that he would have an
ordinance prepared carrying out this
plan.
He would have included in the terri
tory where saloons will not be allowed
Carroll street, from Western to Dale;
Rondo, from Louis to Dale; st. Antho-
ny, from Rice to Dale excepting the
corner of Kent and St. Anthony; Cen-
trail avenue, from Rice to Dale; Aurora
avenue, from Rice to Dale, and Fuller,
from Rice to Dale. This would provide
that additional saloons cannot be es-
tablished in this territory, except on
Western avenue, but does not interfere
with the saloon that is established.
ut does not seem to me- said AS
senblyman Whitcomb, that saloons
should be permitted in this strictly res
idence section, and that action should
be taken before additional places are
established. This measure will aot in
terfere with the men in business and
will permit the location of additional
places on Western avenue which would
seem to be sufficient to supply the de-
mand for intoxicants.'

the erection of a graded school build

brought to the attention of the board

Members of the board gave assur-'
ances that the building viii probably
be erected next year, and asked that
the members of the committee assist ii

out the fact that some of the members
of the delegation did not believe that
Marshall and Victoria, where the city
ewns a site. is just the location for a
school building. The question was re-
ferred to the committee on real estate.

would do all in their power to have
the city council allow enough to per-
nit of the erection OF the building, al
though Mr.. Corning did not believe
