Suggests Swimming
Pool for Auditorium

a public swimming pool in the base
ment of the Auditorium is among the
possibilities.
Commissioner Butler expects TO present
the proposition to the city council at an
early date, first asking that the engineer
ing department furnish an estimate of the
cost. 1t is believed an expenditure of
5000 to 5000 would suffice
ITO my mind this would be the most
serN iceable use TO which this basement
could be put. Some have suggested a
municipal garage, but l do not favor
that" said Mr.. Butler
The present heating plant of the Audi
toriun would take care of the pool and
IL would be open during the entire year.
1t Is proposed to make a nominal charge,
which is done in other cities for similar
privilege.
Minor interior improvements VIII be
made In the Auditorium during the next
few months. The boxes are in need Of
attention and considerable painting is
needed.
