GETS 10,000 DOLLARS.
FOR CHASING ECHO FROM CHURCH.

Corbley Pool, architect and Park Commissioner of Santa Barbara, has just won a fee of 10,000dol. Ever since the beautiful new church was built the poor acoustic qualities have been a source of annoyance to the worshippers. Engineers were consulted, and said there was no help for it. Pool was summoned, got busy with a footrule and a formula and various soundbreakers, with the result that the echo lias been permanently exorcised.
