The public property committee asked Service Director L W J Cooper to negotiate with architect Charles E Firestone to revise plans for rebuilding the city auditorium to a safe and fireproof minimal plan. The aim is to keep market space, follow state fire hazard findings, and avoid extra work beyond safety requirements. The $362,500 estimate was deemed excessive, and new plans should be prepared at no extra charge by the architect.
