WORk BEGINS IN AUDITORIUM SITE
Contractors Clearing Ground And Buildings Soon Will
 Be Erected

First work on the municipal audi torium was started Monday morning. Day & Sachs, the contractors who will erect the structure, had men on the site clearing up debris weeds and getting the area in shape to re- ceive supplies.
 Erection of sheds, tool rooms, stor- age floors for lumber and metal and the building of a small house for offices will be under way this week.
 The front of the auditorium will be on Eighth avenue, facing Wood row Wilson park, between Twentieth and Twenty first streets.
 Architects are now going over the plans covering electric wiring, heat ing, ventilating and plumbing to as certain if these costs can be reduced. Bids submitted on the subcontracts covering the mechanical work were considerably higher than the archi- tects had figured. They are again making these estimates as a check on the bids and to see if any of the specified fixtures may have substi- tutes at less cost.
 It has been roughly estimated that from eight to ten thousand dollars may be saved in revised plans.
 No decision. has yet been reached regarding allowing the subcontract bidders to review their bids, or whether new subcontract bids will be called for. Not until a further re- port Is made by the associated archi- tects will this matter be decided.
 Day 6 Sachs are now at work on placing orders for supplies, most of which, if possible, will be bought in the Birmin2ham district.
