DICKSON HOLDS CONFERENCE ON
 CITY AUDITORIUM
Status of Auditorium Propo- Sition Is Object of Confer ence-Work Will Be
 Started Soon

Steps looking to the erection of Birrningham's proposed auditorium were started yesterday afternoon when Commissioner W. E. Dickson of public buildings held a confer ence with D. O. Whildin and U. Mar tin, architects, for the purpose of &C., quainting himself with the plans made by the former commission.
 It is~ probable that a meeting Of the architects will be held this week when definite plans will be discussed for the auditorium. This statement was made by Mir. Dickson last night, who declared he was most anxious to have the other commissioners dis cuss this matter with the architects and have some plans decided whereby work can be started on the building.
 Size and Cost
 Plans outlined to Mir. Dickson by the architects showed the size and cost of the auditorium as originally estimated. Under these plans, ap. proved by Thomas Lamb, consulting architect at New York, the seating capacity was to be $500 on the main floor, with 500 In small gallery The cost was to approximate $420,O00.
 When agitation against this size auditorium was aroused the archi- teots were authorized by the old com mission to draw plans for audjto- riums with larger seating capacity. These ran from 5000 to 10000, with the cost ranging from s770.000 to more than $l,00O.00Q. However. it Is stated that the plans which the old commission favored had seating ca pacity of 5000 and will cost approxf- mately s1,000, 900.
 The various clubs of Birmingham are manifesting much interest in tho size of Birmingham's auditorium. and several have appointed commit tees to confer with the city commis- sion in an effort to have the pro- posed auditorium made larger than the present plans call for.
 Status of Auditorium
 ''This conference was held merely to acquaint me with the staus of the auditorium project as 1t was left by the old board" said Commissioner Dickson. Legal aspects of the mat ter will be looked into by the city legal department in the early future. ana Just as soon as It can pc posSiDlS work will be started on this building.
 q realize the need for 1t and feel that the city should have 1t, but, of course, I must go into the situation and learn just what has been done by the former board of commission CTS before any definite action can be taken on this matter. I feel sure that conference can be arranged this week, and then all members of the city commission will have an op- portunity of learning the plans for this auditorium.''
