It would be built, he suggest- ed by. the federal government.

AID IS SOUGHT The Mayor said he believed that assistance could be procured for the “face lifting job’’ from the National Capital commission of which Deputy Mayor A. Walthen Gaudet is a member. Assistance could also be pro- cured, he suggested, from the pro- vincial government. The Mayor famed a committee of Councillors A.W. Gaudet. Earle Baker and A.J. Haslam to discuss the prob- lem with the provincial govern- ment at their earliest convenience. The Mayor suggested that the building could be constructed from plans ‘“‘submitted by the leading architects of the world’ as was done in the case of a Tor- onto building. It would house “an auditorium with smaller rooms suitable for Little Theatre groups, a muewm, archives, library, art gallery, tourist bureau, bus terminal, of- fices for railway, steamship °nd airlines and should have suffici- ent underground space to solve the parking problem of Charlotte- town.’ CONVENTION CITY With “proper auditorium space Charlottetown would unquestion- ably become one of the most pcp- ular convention cities in Canada”, he believed.
