BOND ISSUE OF HALF
A MILLION INVOLVED
Chamber of Commerce and Ro-

City Officers.

Steps are contemplated for a
bond issue for the city of Butte for
s5OO,OOO for the purpose of erect
.ng new city auditorium of a size
adequate for a city of a popouIa-
tion of 100000. This was an
nOunced today by Mayor w. III.
Maloney, following an informal
meeting between members of the
Butte Chamber of Commerce. the
Butte Rotary club and the mayor
himself.
As far as the discussion has gone
1t is the intention to place the bond
issue proposition up TO the people of
a vote at the spring election Mayor
Maloney's plan win be supported By
the two bodies mentioned above.
The necessity for such an auditorium
has been acknowledged by everyone
for the past several years. There Is
not hall in the city where a large
meeting can be held and large conven-
tons have had to be turned down he
cause of lack of a suitable meeting
place
Should the bond issue go through
and the plans fructify. the city gov
ernment offices would be located in the
new building; the present city build
ing would be used entirely as a iail
and perhaps some other changes might
be made in locations.
So far the matter is merely In the
