With the unanimous and hearty in
dorsement of the council of 1906 the
citizens' proposition for the building of
an armory and an auditorium by the
city, was on Thursday afternoon com
mended to the council of 1907.
In compliance with Instructions from
a committee of 35 citizens held at the
ofllce 5f The Atlanta Journal Thurs
day morning, James R. Gray, Bam D.
Jones and Colonel Clifford L. Anderson
presented a plan whereby It Is pro
posed to form a stock company of cit
izens which will build the armory and
sell It to the city on easy terms.
Mr. Gray said that the plan for the
auditorium to seat 10,000 people and
an armory for the state guard was the
outgrowth of a sentiment which had
been growing for several years and
which was brought to a head by the
troubles encountered In getting meet
ing places large enough for conventions
which will be In Atlanta this season
and by the recent trouble when the
armory demand was so forcibly pre
sented,
Mr. Gray outlined the plan of the
committee, which, In brief, Is this: To
organize a stock company, which will
purchase a lot and attend to the erec
tion of the building. Being n public
building, the structure should be owned
by the city and be non-taxable. The
city had agreed to glvb $260,000 to the
1910 exposition. This project had been
laid on the shelf and the appropriation
could be profltably transferred to the
armory and auditorium—$75,000 down
and $36,000 per annum, until the pay
ment Is finished.
Bain D. Jones, representing the
Chamher of Commerce, made a strong
and logical talk urging the importance
of having a place for conventions to
meet, and the benefits which conven
tions bring.
Colonel Anderson urged the Impor
tance of the proposed structure from
the standpoint of the military, which,
he said, could have been on the streets
two hours sooner during the recent
rioting, had they had a suitable armory.
He said that during the disturbances
the boys of his regiment had to sleep
on the sldcwnlks with their blankets
as pillows.
Ho promised that If sleeping quar
ters could be provided at the armory
he could arrange to have a company
on duty all the time, as many bachelor
members of the regiment would be glad
to have their rooms there.
The general- council unanimously
adopted a resolution Introduced by Al
derman Qulllian and Councilman Rills
and Roberts, appointing a committee
of live hold-over members to co-oper
ate with a similar citizens’ committee
and resolving that "the need Is mani
fest and of the greatest Importance,
and that the council of 1906 heartily
recommends to the council of 1907 that
magnificent building be erected.”
The council committee Is composed
1 Aldermen Qulllian and Peters and
Councilmen Pomeroy, Martin and Han
cock.

This authority, speaking recently,
said:
"At every big criminal case In New
York the court room Is crowded to
overflowing with people who attend for
the excitement and novelty It affords,
while lawyers watch every detail from
a professional standpoint, tn recalling
this Tact, I would like to say that 1
have never In all my years of expe
rience seen a criminal case conducted
with such perfect regard for the rules
of evidence as It Is In The Woman In

every whit as exciting as any ever
tried In a court, nnd added to that,
you get more thrills and more knowl
edge In three hour* than you would In
