The speaker pointed out the durability of concrete as a building material and of the fact that it was fireproof in building construction. In reply to questions, Mr. Backlund stated that in his ; opinion the costs of concrete had not risen more than fifty per cent even in this period of high prices. He stated that in estimating the needs of size of the auditorium it would depend largely on the population of the city where it was located, the demands that might be made upon it as merely an auditor ium or a more general commun ity building used for several purposes. Mr. Backlund suggested that an architect be secured, sketch es made and tentative plans drawn that would place the matter in a practical way to the community in the event that a campaign was started to secure the building. The costs of a structure would range from $100,000 to $125,000 for the low er cost type and of course could be more as desired. There was a general discus sion among the groups present and it was noticeable that everyone was in favor of the securing of the auditorium for the community. Searl S. Davis cited cases where the lack of a suitable building had kept the city from securing many large meetings that would have been of the greatest benefit to the commun ity. He was in favor of an audi torium. President Furse pointed .out that the lack of a suitable building had lost to this city the opportunity just recently, to have a large cooking school brought here that would have attracted several thousand women of this section. The matter was brought to a head on the motion of Searl S. Davis, that a committee of five be appointed to have plans and sketches prepared, a course of campaign outlined for the pur pose of financing the cost of an auditorium by popular subscrip tion or by a general bond issue to meet the cost. The committee will be an nounced later. In addition to the members of the Chamber of Commerce there were present: Al Nierste, of the V.F.W.; Leonard Brothers of the American Legion; Mrs. Sophia Wolever, V.F.W. Auxiliary; Mrs. Mae Sedlak, president of the American Legion Auxiliary; Mrs. Shirley Mayabb, Junior Woman's club, Mrs. Esther Do nat. Junior Woman's club; Mrs. L. B.
