All Proposals Will Be Made
Public at Same Time.

Proposals for sites for the Indian
apolis coliseum will be kept secret

scum board of managers decided to-
day.

we're mostly from real estate men

separate parcels making up the large
tracts necessary for the site.

proposals secret because they believe
other promoters will more readily
offer sites if there is no danger of
their plans to secure options be-
ing hampered by others gaining op-
portunity to beat them to parcels OF
their tracts.

that central location be selected
and the building suited to a large
variety of uses. He said citizens
should be educated to- believe that
the taxation necessary to construct
the coliseum is worth while.

the coliseum board, stressing the
need for the convention center, said
