COUNCIL NAMES
COMMITTEE FOR
CITY AUDITORIUM

Although it was distinctly under
stood that the city would not, be
cause it could not, participate fnan>
cially this year, committee of coun-
Gil, headed by Mayor Sheppard, was
appointed at the meeting Of council
psf night to represent the city and
cooperate with like committees from
the Chamber of Commerce and the Ro-
tary club, looking to the erection OF
a modern auditorium for Americas.
The matter was preached by COM
mittees from both the latter organiza-
tons, Secretary Perkins and W M.
Jones representing the Chamber of
Commerce, and Arthur Rylander and
John Sheffield representing the Rota-
rians. Mr.. Perkins addressed the
council, asking for the appointment
of a committee. He said:
I'VE all know that the most press
ing need of the city of Americas for
years has been an adequate building
for public meetings, where gatherings
of all kinds, speakings, plays and en-
tertainments can be held. The Cham
Der of Commerce for some time has
had under consideration the matter
of securing for the city such an audi
forum We fully realize that the city
is not in shape financially to assist in
this project, yet the concensus of Opin-
ion seems to be that the city govern
ment should be identified with the
movement. A short time ago the
Chamber of Commerce appointed a
committee composed of Frank Lanier,
chairman; Frank Sheffield and w. N.
Jones, to act with like committee
from the Rotary club, composed of
Arthur Rylander, John Sheffield and
J. E. Mathis. We now ask that a
council committee of three, with the
mayor as chairman, be appointed, and
that these nine men proceed jointly to
work out plan for an auditorium or
take such steps as are wise in the
matter"
Mayor Sheppard, addressing coun-
Gil from the chair following Mr.. Per
kins' remarks, said:
Before this matter is submitted to
the council, l desire to have it pub
licly understood that there will be no
city funds available during the next
IL months for this or for many other
laudable purposes"
- Following this statement, motion
W&as put and carried instructing Mayor
Sheppard to appoint the committee,
which he did, the two members ap-
pointed besides himself being Alder
men w E. Taylor and Chas. NJ.
