prompt legislation y permit the people OF
the District to provide a suitable place In
which to hold inaugural balls, conventions,
ETC., in this city.
There were present at this hearing Com
missioner West, president Of the associa-
ton: Mr.. John Joy Edison, Gen. John NJ.
Wilson. Mr. c. C. Glover. Mr.. James F.
Browne and Mr.. George E. Hamilton
Commissioner West outlined the plan OF
the association and claimed that by virtue
Of the act of Congress against the holding
Of the inaugural ball In the pension ONCE
building the people of the District have
had to provide an adequate building for
the holding of such events. The people
Of the District have raised $13S OOO for this
purpose and do not intend to ask Congress
for any aid In carrying this project
through, except to have the property ex-
empt from taxation when 1t has been con-
structed.
Mr. George e. Hamilton said 1t was de-
sired to have the proposed auditorium
commodate 10000 people. 1t will be of
classic style OF architecture in keeping with
the best public buildings in this city. 1t
Will not only De Tor inaugural DaiiS put
for conventions charity affairs and all
functions of semi-public nature.
Mr. G. e. Glover explained to the COM
mittee how subscriptions had been received
and the method of selling the stock for
the auditorium association
Mr. John Joy Edison said the sentiment
of the country demanded that there should
be an inaugural ball in connection with the
inauguration of the President, and the lack
of suitable place added burden to the
people of the District in looking after the
inaugural ceremonies. He did not expect
to get back any of the money he had sub
scribed for the auditorium and he consid-
cred his contribution in the nature OF
donation
Gen John NJ Wilson referred to the diff
hculty experienced by the inaugural COM
mittee in use of the pension Office for the
last Inauguration.
The subcommittee stated that a report
would be made to the full committee to-
morrow morning. and suggested that as
many of those present who could be on
hand tomorrow in order to supply any in
formation that might be called for.
