Rules Out Remodeling In response! to a question put by Lou Williams, the commissioner declared the cost of remodeling the auditorium to make It suitable for such productions would be prohibitive.

He said there is a definite need for another building here designed specifically for musical and theatrical productions, and that he hoped such a building would be built. He did not suggest, however, that the city undertake to build the proposed etructure. He deplored the fact that the auditorium, built about 35 years ago, was so designed that the small theater In the building Is situated on the second floor. He said the steep flight of stairs to the theater makes it unattrac-j connecting Wilkes T. Thrasher Bridge over Chickamauga Dam and U.S.
