This Important ques- - -tion,-which-the citizens were so sreat- - - ly Interested in. remained dropped" - until recently, when popular senti ' xnent compelled the chamber of com ! tnerre to take action. A mass meet ' " lng of cltlsens was called to meet with " the chamber of commerce to discuss . the vital question. The jnasi meet ing was held and It was largely at- tended and gre'at enthusiasm was jnanlfested. Talks favoring the er.-c-' tlon of the auditorium and emphasiz ing the crying need of Elizabeth City ' for a creditable gathering place, where '"-- public meetings, visiting conventions, ; such as have recently honored KHza v toeth t-'ity, could be held and visitors could be shiwn with pride have ; een had.

Numbers of others spoke similarly nd a motion was made in order to ( get the sentiment of thi mass meet ing that a vote be takri. The came be ing done, only one dissenting vote ves cast and th.it by a prominent citizen residing two doors from the proposed site of tho buildings. A mo tion was made and carried that th I chair appoint a committee to waif upon the boards of control and al dermen, respectively, and urge some Steps to be taken immediately looking to the beginning of work. The result was the Joint meeting last night and this Important ques tion, which means so much In many v.sys for the city and -citizens, has. at last, been definitely decided. The Ih'Wa TJf an arrClttrrrtiirn wwa f tie - tnrmt - t apparent ned of Kllzaheth f'lty and j the surprising part of It Is that the citizens have allowed the matter to remain dormant so long. The board of control and aldermen :w111 immediately take steps to rom filete all arrangements for the erec tion of the buildings and the citizens are delighted to know that only a ahort time will Intervene before Klis abeth City will have an auditorium that will be a credit ..nil a pride to the citizens.
