MUST MOVE
AUDITORIUM
Postmaster Pitts Gets Instructions
to Have Lot Graded For
New Building.

1t is expected that the supervising
architect of the United States govern
ment will issue an order for the re.
moval of the Auditorium building
from its present site within few days.
Postmaster Pitts has received in
structions to get bids for the survey
and grading of the lot, but this cannot
be done until the Auditorium is re-
moved from the Lot and it IS said that
the contract calls for sixty days no.
tice to the owner before this is done.
That is the way Manager Bixler of the
Auditorium understands thu matter.
Mr.. Pitts says he is not sure whether
it will require sixty days rotica or
thirty days-that the department will
have to lock into the contraet.
Until d, s,,~vev of the grlunds is
made the government architects can
not draw the plans and specifications
of the new postoffice building and
this being the case, it will be at least
two months before work will begin on
the design.
Manager Bixler intends to move the
Auditorium to the rear of the gcy-
ernment lot-it's present site..
