Friday, March 2 u. THB PORT WAYNE NEWS AND SENTINEL Hu JM iii i VICTORY HALL SITE SELECTED BY BOARD City Coliseum Building Will Be Located on North Cal houn Street. CONSIDER PLANS SOON The Allen County Victory hall commission at a meeting yesterday evening accepted the offer of nearly all acres of ground located on North Calhoun street, running to Clinton street and taking In the corner of and Superior as the site of 'the "Victory hall for which provision haa been made by the use of the fund already raised by the city and by the Issue of bonds to the amount of I9S0.00O If that much Is necessary. Jills land belonged to several different owners but was held under options which made It necessary to accept the offer at once. The com 1, mission had no other site offered although the project had been before the people for more than a year and full opportunity was given to make any proposition.

It was the opinion of the commission, however, that It la probable no. other city of the else of Fort Wayne In all the country could find available grounds of such extent within three blocks Of the court house at such a price. The ground contains many, structures used for residences or for business purposes yielding several hundred dollars a month rent and the commission will, it Is announced, permit the renters to continue In their holdings as long as possible during the of the new building. The price to be paid for 803 feet en Calhoon street Is 1145,000 and for 480 feet on Clinton street Is 150.000 making a for the entire tract of 1195,000. The corner property northeast corner of Calhoun and SuperiorIs a two story brick building occupied by a branch of the Fort Wayne Box company at a rental of $1,800 a year, and a residence Just east of It renting for 130 a month.

The combined frontage is seventy feet. The price la 898,000 less than the appraised value of the Fort Wayne real estate board In 1915. The commissioners considered that It was a bargain at the price and voted unanimously to accept the offer of the owners. Will Bs Beauty 8pet. The region now la most unattractive but when the building Is completed and the grounds given the attention of the landscape artist.

It will be a beauty spot and will become the dvlo center of Fort Wayne. The land has never been covered with water but once 1913 but the dredging of the river by the city Is expected to prevent forever another such overflow. Those who remember that destructive week of 1911 recall that there were three heavy storms within seven days, causing an Unprecedented flood when the heavy fall of rain melted the two heavy falls of snow. No such combination of storms and waterfall has ever before been known In one week. The obstructions in the river bed through unnumbered scores of years caused the water to backflow and reach lands never before submerged since 'the Immortal flood of Noah's day.

The ground consists of hardpan at twelve feet deep, thus providing a substantial foundation. Under the rule adopted by the city council the fund of $320,000 raised by the cjty became available for the use of the Victory Ilall purchase when the state tax board gave the bono offer Its approval. Mayor Cut shall, who presented the petition of commission for such approval In company with Mr. the commission's attorney, submitted to the commission tho certified aulhor lty of the Hate tax board. By unan Imous vote, to proceed to offer the bonds for the purpose.

The commis sion therefore found every obHtacle to progress removed and took tho Important step of buying the best site in the opinion of all heard from that could be found. The extent of the site opens the way for the parking of 1,400 automobiles in order, so that those first to arrive need not wait until the last to arrive gets ready to leave and open a way out. This will be particularly pleasing to the farmers who come from a distance to entertainments or events of or political purposes In their cars and want to make an early Mart home. Tho space will be sufficient for parking nearly half of all the cars In Allen county. Ofl loo in Court House The commission made a request of the board of county commissioners to provide an office for Its work in tho court house.

The commission decided to hold weekly night meetings to expedite the progress of the building as fast as possible. The commission, however, decided to give the plans on file In tho city hall a thorough Inspection before the architect Is selected. The commission decided to meet next Friday evening, but as that Is Rood Friday It Is probable that the date will be changed. HBhe lands purchased were owned by Mrs. Clara Carnahan, John Maxwell, Oscar and Herman Tresselt, Andrew Archer and Daniel Bash.
