THE OPERA HOUSE PLAN VIRTUALLY DECIDED UPON
The bids for the erection Of an armory for the

Paret. ID. j. mccarthy. The bids ranged from S62 600
TO se5,0U. the lowest bid being considerably higher
than was expected. The estimated OF the COM
bned armory and opera house having previously
been obtained, the committee then had before
them the cost OF the two projects. with
the plans OF the proposed buildings. A pro-
longed discussion OF the respective merits OF
the two plans followed, which brought out the
fact that the sentiment OF a majority OF the COM
Inlttee was in favor OF the combined opera house
and armory. This was SO evident that those men,

concluded TO unite with the others in suppot OF the
opera house plan. and resolution was offered
which was unanimously adopted While the COM

therefore by the first OF May IL Is intended TO have

When the structure reaches 40 feet there will be
