not let them tear it down." Mr.. Peck
said.
Intination that plans had been
made to replace the structure with a
modern building was contained In a
suit filed in circuit court here to per-
feet titles. The bill stated that the
structure was obsolete and that It
had never paid dividends.
To that Mr.. Peck replied: THE
auditorium Is not obsolete. I say 1t
has paid. The prestige that has come
to Chicago because Of the building
and the opera house It contains has
not only added to the value OF real
estate and other interests, but has
promoted entertainment for the
people
