4 If there is anything needed in Van Buren,
worse than something else it is an opera house.
Venture.
We disagree with the Venture The city
needs a hundred other Improvements more
than new opera house. Our opera house is
not perfect one, to be sure; but there Is not a
half dozen better or more convenient in the
Stata.. The city needs sewerage more than all
other improvements. Give the opera house a
rest
