<br /> 6th - "At the last meeting of the City Council, a request f~om the United.
<br />Service Organization for the rental of the City auditorium was referred to the City Manager
<br /> I beg to report that I investigated ~this request in the company of
<br />Er. D.C. Shumaker, U.S.O. representative, and we concluded that inasmuch as the City could not
<br />~uarautee that proper hea~ would be provided in the auditorium during the day, as well as the
<br />night hours, it would not be safe to make the desired improvements and perhaps find that the
<br />quarters would not be suitable.
