One important Improvement which
Mr.. Peabody called the attention of
these gentlemen to is The proposal TO
lay cement sidewalk along the west
side of the Auditorium similar to the
one on the east side This will make
il still more convenient for patrons
TO gel In and out Of the building on
the west side and at the same time
make ii so they can avoid waGing in
the sand. Il is also Mr. Peabody's
idea TO FL Up with cement all OF the
vacant ground lying between the
walks leading from the Dake street
sidewalk 70 ths main entrances of the
building Whether the building viii
be freshly painted during the ap-
preaching summer was another sub
ject considered.
Messrs. Gamble and the Jchnsons
expressed themselves as we'll pleased
with the Auditorium management thus
far and are apparently ready TO do
| their part to see the enterprise made

ing maintained as q, high qclass eau-
/ catiOnal asset tor the public benefit.
