SUGGESTED FLAN FOR SECURING
,CITY HALL AND AUDITORIUM
HERE,
The story is going tho rounds this
Week that it is posslblo to move the
high schools from tho block they now
occupy and build now and moro suit
able buildings on anothor location
moro suitable for school ipurposos.
Tho plan Is to remodel tho Franklin
Auditorium so that It would moro ful
ly moot the requirements of u Muni
cipal meeting place and uso tho rost
of tho building for a City Ilnll whore
the different departments of tho city
could havo ample offico rooms. Tho
Central High School building would
bo torn down and the rost of tho block
not used by tho Franklin building
would bo sold for buslnoss buildings.
In (he prosont surroundings of gar
ages, stores, movies, etc., it is ques
tionable whothor tho high schools arc
as well located as thoy might bo and
some think this land Is too valuable
for buslnoss purposes to uso for a
poor school location. Nothing definite
has yet been proposed but tho plan is
interesting.
