presented plans for a much larger

This scheme contemplates a series
of boxes, 4S in number, representing
the States of the Union, instead of
galleries. The greater part Of the
floor of the auditorium would be on
level, only the rear to be raised. BY
the dropping of large curtains and the
removal of the chairs, the auditorium
would be converted into a banquet
hall. In the basement there would be
perfectly equipped kitchen and pan
tries.
THE architect arrived at the ap-
proXimate cost of this building as fol
lows: The present average cost of
buildings similar in material and size
was taken to be around SO or 80 cents
a cubic foot, with 10 cents added to
this for protection. making a cost
used in the estimate of 81 per cubic
foot.
This estimate is intended to in
