aurtis Opera House to be Remodslsd.

ar tbs Opera Rouse to be Remodeled.
The present proprietor of the Kimbal
House, Mr.. Howard Burtis. contemplates
remodeling the interior of the Burtis
Opera House, Davenport. so that it may
be in keeping. with. the improvements made
in the hotel adjoining. The change is one
that is much needed, for the present con-
struction of the house is very far behind
the requirements of the day, and the
acoustic properties of the room are very
deficient. The details have not yet been
decided upon but from all we can learn
the remodelling. decorating and scene
painting will be placed in competent hands
and the house made an attraction in ever y
sense. Yesterday architect McClelland.
frescoer Ficke. and Judson Smith, were
in the building making estimates as to the
cost of changes, frescoing and seating
with opera chairs. The galleries will re-
main as they are, save that the balcony
will contain opera chairs, as will the par,
quette. The ceiling and dome viii be
freshly frescoed; the entire interior will be
newly painted. the: scenery will all be
touched up by scenic artists from St.
Louis. and two or three new scenes added
-aad it is likely that the stairs to the
upper tier will be separated from those of
the parquett and balconies so that the
great rush in the first and second halls
may be avoided after performances. 1t is
expected that the work will be completed
by Sept. LIST. The cost will be upwards of
IS 600.

! am glad to notice in your paper that
some draining is to be done in our part Of
the city. II ishigh time itshould be done
TO relieve the Goose ponds Of their loathe-
some contents. We ask the authorities
who have the duty Of looking after the
sanitary condition OF this city to bring
their forces TO bear in such way as to
renovate the filthy cutters that are breed
ing disease and death in this part oil the
city. In justice to the good health and
appearance OF our district, something must
be done soon. Disease in is worst form is
breaking out, caused by the impure yapors
arising from these sloughS. Green, stag
nant water has stood In the cutters on
Woods, Jacob, Eof and Chapline, together
with nearly ell the cross streets aud alleys
in the Eighth ward for the last six months,
from which q sickening, disease-breeding
stencil constantly arises.
A vacant lot, contiguous to the Third
Presbyterian Church, has long Stree be-
come disgusting with its filthy contents to
those who live in that vicinity, as well as
those who worship there. We hope this
will attract the attention Of the health au-
thorities aud accomplish the desired end.
