TABERNACLE FOR SUNDAY
WILL BE 3O3 FEET LONG
Local Structure Is to Have Seating
Capacity of $4,000 and Standing
Room for 5000 More.

Only two of the many tabernacles
erected for BILLY" Sunday in various
American cities have been larger than
the one that is to be built on square
72S near the Union station plaza. These
two are the ones in Boston and Phtla-
delphia. The great size of the local
structure has been determined upon
because of the large number of tran
sients which every day swells the popu-
lation of this medium sized but cosmo-
politan city. The structure will be 3os
feet long and 21s feet wide, with a
seating capacity of $4,000 and standing
room for 5000 more, according to a,
Coulter Wells. chairman of the build
ing committee.
The committee is today preparing to
send requests for bids for the work m
a considerable number of firms, some OF
them out-of-town concerns. One offer
OF a bid has been received from as far
away as Georgia.
Plans for the tabernacle were yester-
day submitted to the office of the build
ing inspector and to the District Com
missioners. No objection to them has
yet been made, and it is believed that
the necessary permit will be granted
almost Immediately.
