SHALL WE HAVE AN OPERA
HOUSE?
Articles OF incorp ,ratIon to be Pre-
pared at Once.

Inc committee which was appointed by
the board Oh Trade some months ago to
make arrangements for building an opera
mousse, have not, so we are informed, been as
idie as some anonymous writers for the
newspapers seem to have thought On the
contrary, they have spent no little time in
Inc attempt, for a long time Intellectual, to
secure suitable sta, at a reasonable price.
Ihey nave at last obtained a substantial re-
fusal OF three lots, either one of which will
answer the requirements of site, locality and
price, and are now prepared to ascertain, If
possible, IL the citizens of Portland are sufi-
GENTLY anxious to have a first class place of
amusement to put their hands In their pock-
cts to pay for it.
Inc committee are now preparing articles
OF Incorporation for joint stock company,
to be named the Portland Opera House
Company" the capital stock of which will
be $4,000, in shares of the value of 800
each, and in few days subscription papers
for the stock will be ready for signatures,
and 10 the mean time we are requested to
say that subscriptions may be made to any
member of the committee.
The cost of a first class building, upon
suitable lot, has been carefully estimated,
and it is believed will not exceed $4,000. II
this amount can be speedily raised, or Sc
cured, there is no reason why an opera
house may not be ready for next winter.
The whole question now is, or will be, be.
| fore the citizens of Portland for final de.
cision. If the real estate owners, the mer-
| chants and manufacturers and the amuse
ment lovers of Portland look at it, as il
ought to be looked at should have speedy
and a satisfactory settlement.
