never been used before for a muaicai

having splendid acoustic qualities.
The sonata and concerto by Mr.
Corey and Mr.. Lichtenstein proved
unusually beautiful. Mr.. Corey's mu-
sicial ability has been recognized long
ago. not only In Detroit but through

meeting OF the council ard citixens'

time next week, as soon as further
Information has been received from
other cities In regard to their CON.
yention halls. The mayors OF st.

written. giving facts. but II will be
necessary to have the architects for
ward Information In regard to struc.
ture and cost Of the respective build.
ings.
While we are considering sites for
a convention hall. Ii would be proper
20 consider building one In the imme-
date neighborhood OF the Museum Of
Art" says Aid. Brozo. "Then we
would need to build large auditor
ium only, the hall OF the museum be-
ing available for the smaller gather
ings"
There Is now grave question
whether the convention hall will also
be an armory, as In the case of many
cities. The militia want building
where they may not be hampered In
their work and drills by constant
succession OF attractions monopolizing
the building. That Is the principal
objection to the present system OF
private ownership OF armories BY
companies or associations which must
rent them a part OF the time 70
break even.
There Is the further obstacle that
most armory auditoriums are either
poor auditoriums or poor armorfes.
and the convention hall committee
wants to plan for a building that
will serve its special purpose wen.
