LANSING, Mich, Aug. eff the or
der prepared by Commissioner Law
ton T. Hemans, is signed by the en-
tire railroad commission, the merger
OF tho Michigan State Telephone Co,
and the Home Telephone Co, of De-
troit, Will be approved. Hemans fav-
ors the merger of the two companies
but IL is INT known whether Commits
sioners Glasgow and Dickinson will
agree With him.
However, a joker has been discov-
cred in the tentative order prepared
by the representatives OF the two COM
paaies In the merger. There Is a
clause that reads: The rates to be
hereafter charged for service given
to the patrons OF the Michigan State
Telephone company In the city OF De-
troit. shall not be raised as n result
of the purchase hereby ratified, be-
yond The present schedule filed with
the railroad commission, unless leave
so TO do is expressly granted by the
said railroad commission, after APP
plicatioD according TO law
The fact that the words shall not
be raised as result or the purchase
may cause the commission TO look
fu. Their before making a final settle
ment. Chairman Glasgow says that
according to this clause there Is ap-
parentIy nothing that would prevent
the company from increasing its
rates for some other reason.

taxed the facilities OF our halls. We
had only a great wooden auditorium
erected for the Confederate Veterans
reunion and seating about 1000 peo-
pie.
When the need OF a great auditor
ium was seen the action of the mayor
and the commission was quick. The
commission agreed that the project
should be taken up. made an announce
ment TO that effect and COM
mittee of five citizens was appointed

bought the lot and got II half paid for.
The second year we finished paying
for the lot and began putting up the
building, and the third year sees the
completion Of the building, and We are
now putting In a heating and cooling
apparatus that is costing 100000.
When the building was completed
It's management was turned over to a
commission of citizens who accept the
responsibility as an honorary APP
pointment, and the auditorium Is al
ready self-sustaining as far as current
expenses are concerned
Our committee visited many cities,
from the Rocky mountains to the At
lantic coast, before beginning work
In Houston, and we feel that our aud
itorium possesses all he advantages
TO be found in all the auditoriums
that We visited in our travels.
Even the big city of Chicago has
nothing to equal it. and IL is strange
how few cities have a suitable build

Auditoriums have been erected by
popular subscription in some cities
and by private enterprise in others,
but nowhere is the idea so successful
as where it is carried out entirely
with municipal funds, as In Houston,
where every taxpayer has an interest
In IL.
The newspapers of Houston were
not with us at the start, but none OF
them was against us, and the project
has proven very popular. At first
there was some criticism OF the adj
ministration. but after while we
found that the faultfnding came from
enemies Of the commission. and that
as general rule the auditorium made
friends everywhere for the admins
tration.
we have a magnificent freproof
building, finished like a theater, with
scenery, boxes. magnificent interior
decorations and carpets and acoustic
properties that are conceded TO be
uneXcelled anywhere. Over the foyer
there is magni1cently decorated
banquet hall capable Of seating L000
people
Theodore Roosevelt was the first
speaker when the auditorium was
opened. and Fred b. Smith, the Y. NJ.

our auditorium as the best big hall In

BUILT WITH PUBLIC FUNDS

Il takes a commission form OF gov
eminent TO. get a really adequate
auditorium for a live city, according
TO the Rev. DIR. william States Jacobs,
of Houston, Tex. DR.. Jacobs, who Is
taking the place Of the Rev. Joseph
A. Vance In the First Presbyterian
church during August, was a member
OF the citizens committee that direct
ed the erection Of Houston's half mil
lion dollar entertainment hall
Though Houston has only about
ane-fourth the population OF Detroit,
it's auditorium will seat $500 people
and a couple of thousand more can get
standing room on extraordinary occa.
sions. Cheese cloth frescoes" and
bare brick walls have no place in the
interior, which is decorated as beauti-
fully as any playhouse in the country.
The lot cost $4,000 and the building
$40O, 900, and no effort is made to pay
interest on this investment. The en-
tire expense came out OF the current
funds OF the city, and universal appro-
aation has met the vigorous course OF
the mayor and commissioners in
initiating the project and carrying II
through.
Municipal band concerts are given
in the auditorium several times a
week all through the winter, and the
place is given over free OF charge for
any entertainment to which the gen
@al public is admitted free. For
money-making entertainments society
meetings, etc, Il nominal fee is
charged for the use OF the hall
ANY city administration OF any
.ity that would take up such project
would popularize itself at once. said
DR.. Jacobs. The first day that the
lace was thrown open to the people
