THE 3IORXINO OEEGO NIAJT, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1915. 13 HASTE PROMISED IN AUDITORIUM ACTIOr Mr. Brewster Thinks Contract Will Be Let and Work Be gun Within Six Months. NEW SITE ALTERS PLANS Early Consideration of Project Tor Which $35,000 Is on Hand to Be Held by Council MarVet" Building to House Museum. In the opinion of City Commissioner Brewster, the City Council will be able to let a contract for the erection of the proposed public auditorium building within six months and actual work can be started on the structure soon after that time. As soon as Mr. Brewster learned of the Supreme Court decision yesterday in the case involving the question of the right of the city to use the market block as a site, he an nounced that he would bring the prop, osition to the attention of the Council and urge hasty action. The City Council has decided defi nitely upon the Market block as a site and it is not expected any further ef fort will be made to change the site, the question having been threshed out about a year ago. The understanding then was that if the Market block could not be used an East Side site would be selected. The selection of the Market block will necessitate the complete revision of the plans for the structure, the orig inal plans having been for a larger site. When the plans were drafted it was proposed to purchase half a block south of the Market block and to have the building over the entire area, including Market street, wnicn was to nave oeen closed. Propoiiltlon In 1 Be ITrsed. "I will take the proposition up with the Council at once." said Commissioner tlrewster yesterday, "and will nr; haste in the procedure leading up to the commencement of the work. The first steD will be to have J. H. Freed- lander, the official architect, make new plans. This will be done as soon as we can agree upon a settlement for the preparation of the original plans. . "It is asserted that we owe Mr. FrecUIander J17.000 for the preparation uf the original plans. Inasmuch as it has been decided that the building as proposed cannot be erected and new plans must be prepared, we probably can settle with Mr. Freedlander for . considerably less. "The building probably will have to be of a different type. It will era br:ice. however, many of the features planned originally. It will be arranged in such manner that in the main audi torium there will be a changeable floor. It can be changed to slope for the installation of seats or be level for dancing or exposition purposes. Mala Auditorium to Seat SO00. "The main auditorium will seat about 6000 persons. This will be as great a seating capacity as is found in audi toriums in the largest Eastern cities. "It Is the plan also to have a smaller nmlitorium for small gatherings and for small concerts. This may have a seating capacity cf about 500 persons. One object is to have ample quarters for the Oregon Historical Society and for the free museum now in the City Hall." The original bond issue for the audi torium was $600,000. Of this amount $35,000 has been sold. Deducting the loss by having to sell the bonds for less than par there now Is available $537,000. Bonds of the type author ized for the auditorium are expected to bring from 93 to 95 cents on the dollar if financial conditions continue as they are now. . Although threats have been made upon one or two occasions to submit to tho voters the question of revoking the authorization of the bond issue, it is expected bv Commissioner Brewster that this will not be attempted. SISTER IS SUED FOR ESTATE Man Thought Dead Demands Share of Property Mother Left. THscoverlng after 14 years that his mother had left him a share In a $4000 estate. Malcolm Kuiter yesterday filed suit in County Clerk Coffey's office against his sister, Mrs. Sarah Ella Brewster, to recover his share of the property. The mother died in Minne sota in ltl. When Mrs. Kuiter died she left $4000 In the hands of her brother, Nathan Tibhets, to bo divided between the two children, Malcolm Kuiter and Mrs. Brewster. The whereabouts of the son wu unknown, and he could not be noti ced of his mother's death. Convinced that her brother was dead. Mrs. Brew ster in 190S secured $1500 of the prop erty from her uncle. In 1909, says the complaint, the uncle, convinced that Malcolm Kuiter was dead, gave Mrs. Brewster the remaining $2500. GOOD WOOL RETURN SEEN K. A. Munficld Believes Yield to Be Worth Same as lH!-t Year. n. N. Htanfiold. of Stanfield, one of the leading heepmen of Ka stern Ore gon, and a member of the recent House of Representatives, returned yesterday from a trip througrh L'tah and Idaho, where he purchased some sheep for shipment to the Portland market. '"Sheep in Idaho and Utah, as well as In Oregon, had a good inter," he staid. "The average wool clip per head may be a little li(?ht on account of the dry weather Inst Kail, but the net re turns will be about the same, as there will be less shrinkage. "I look for the aggregate yield of wool in the Northwest to be a little lighter than usual, owing to the de crease in the number of sheep on the ranges."
