Topeka Auditorium Fund Drive Urged By Commercial Club

Topeka weighs a $10,000 fund drive to erect an auditorium on a donated site in the Ritchie tract near Eleventh Street and Harsas Avenue. The Commercial Club should lead committees and push city council action while Mrs. Ritchie offers land and a $2,000 back donation. The council supports appointing a committee to raise funds and pass the necessary ordinance directing the project. The city park site is favored for ventilation, light, and future expansion, with plans for a wood or steel framed structure and potential brick upgrading later. The community backs swift, decisive action to finance and build the auditorium.
