Whenever in the future any reference
is made by any one to the lack of public
spirit in Portland. the history of the
labor of the gentlemen who have solicit
ed tho funds for the opera house will be
forever an answer that shall ridicule
the idea. The fact is established beyond
question that Portland is the most pub
lie spirited town in Maine at least The
following is the result OF the labor of
the committee: Seventy seven subsorip-
lions of $1,000 each; thirteen of $500 each
and the balance. $1,000. is made up of
ma Her sums There are many of Port
lands most prominent citizens and firm g
that have not been interviewed and
there is no doubt that the balance will
be raised today, but in view of this
uprising and generous subscription to
the stock of the opera house and remem-
bering that three busy men have given
their time for week to this matter, and
that they must now give their own bust
ness little attention, let every one who
has not subscri bed and who is willing
to do SO, notify By postal either Mr..
Wright, Mr.. Winslow or Mr.. Cox, so
that today may close the matter up, as
the city is certainly under great obliga-
lions to these gentlemen and in no other
way can generous public render SO
much assistance.
