TIE AUDITORIUM MATTER.

The result of the bond issue cleo
ton rather emphatically pronounced
tho sentiment Of the citizens OF Bis
marck in regards to the idea of build
ing an auditorium at this time That
would reach the figure as had been
proposed by President Williams.
The vote of yesterday also gave the
impression that the people were salts
fled with the matter as it had been
settled by the first bond election held
earlier in the year, when it was vot-
ed to give the commission $4,000 to
build a municipal theater. The peo-
pie evidently think that If the COM
mission could build a suitable audi
torium at that time for $45 5000 1t can
be done now.
The Tribune has always been an
advocate OF progress for Bismarck,
and has always supported any worthy
enterprise, but the Tribune believes
that in any municipal improvements
that all conditions should be cOnsid-
cred. The people heretofore have
agreed to any reasonable bond issue
for a needy purpose but they will not
permit of extravagant ideas. The city
needs street paving, and extended
sewer system, and more improve
ment son the streets, and all these
things can be had If undertaken in
a conservative manner The Tribun
believes that the majority of people
in the city would be pleased to See a
suitable theater erected here but they
do not care for one that reaches such
e proportion that the finances of the
city are to be left in a critical condi.
ton, or that will burden them with
high taxes that are so extreme that
their property interests may be jeop.
ardized.
The proposition of the city commits.
sion has been greatly clarified by the
peoples vote of yesterday. There is
