Description

The old city auditorium is about demolished. Acting Urban Renewal Director Dale Bonar said he would like to have it "all on the ground" before the wreckers take off for the Labor Day weekend. Councilman Dan Franksen said he would like to see a new civic auditorium built "for the benefit of youth and people in general. I believe we'll have a substantial number of motor hotels in the future. If we have these facilities for convention purposes, we'll certainly need an auditorium". Councilman Kenneth Jensen opposed building a new auditorium. "We have too many other needs - swimming pools and a fire station. These would be far higher on my list of priorities."
