Alternative.
I am deeply impressed with the
thought that the city ought to own,
control and operate an auditorium:
such an institution ought not to be
owned or controlled by individuals Or
by anyone other than the public au-
thorities; while not precisely of the
san,e class as the city hall or other
public buildings yet 1t is, somewhat
the idea that the city hall should be
owned by private individuals. even
though operated by the city at a loss.
But if the city should be unable OF
should not see fit to purchase the
iproperty L. propose that the property
be purchased by public spirited citi-
zens and donated to the city, for tho
purpose Of an auditorium.
And to accomplish this purpose /
hereby offer ITO contribute $1,000 in
cash, the remainder of $24.0O0 to
bring the purchase price up to s25.-
900 to be contributed by other citi-
zens. Out of the money thus raised
the first and second mortgages to be
paid in full with interest and the re-
mainder, such as it may be-. to re-
in,burse me as far as possible for the
time and money expended in this
matter.
This proposition, too. must be linn
)ited as to time and I see no reason
why the time for this purpose should
be extended beyond the period of re-
ldemption. Dec. II, 1920.
II neither Of these proposals are
4acceptod as herein provided and no
redemption Is made, I shall acquire
the title to the property, SO 1 am ad-
vised. on Dec. l3. 1920, free and clear
of all membranes other than the
first mortgage.
Respectfully submitted,
