of Edinburgh to the English border

ADJUSTMENTS.

Fra Diavolo,' an opera which has
J frequently been heard in Salt Lake,
formed the opening bill at the Grand
last night for the engagement of the
| Metropolitan Opera company Just
why an organization of this kind should
choose quite the most pretentious title
in the land, it would be somewhat hard
to determine. It is somewhat on the
same principle as the remark of the
man who said that white reminded him
of black, because it was so different.
However, il is hardly possible that
any one went to the Grand last night
expecting to be entertained otherwise
than by light opera. The company
which presented Fra Diavolo" was one
which has not been heard in Salt Lake
before, with the exception of Miss AL
drach, the prima donna, who is a Utah
girl, and resided for some time in Salt
Lake She was, during her residence
here, promising vocal student and
appeared frequently in concert Her
voice is a light high saprano, quite
equal to the demands of the part of
Zerlina, and she acted naturally and
with good taste. The tenor. Mr. Will
S. Rising, won a recall for a pretty
Italian serenade in the second act, and
Mr.. A. S. Rhorer was a dramatic Lo-
renzo.
The two vagabonds, as played by
Messrs. De Wolf and Smith, vastly
amused the audience with their antics.

THE FIGHT
ON PAVING
Property Owners Are Lining Up
on the Question.
CURTIS FOR IMPROVED ENT
And Others Are N0t--C0uncil Will
Meet Wednesday Evening to
Hear Objections,
CURTIS FOR IMPROVEMENT

John H. Curtis. mi of the heavy tax
payers of the city called at the office of
the city clerk this morning. He had un-
would be made by a minority of the prop
erty owners Of improvement district No.
s, against paving West Broadway from
Academy to Montana street. Mr.. Curtis
is with the council in it's contemplated
improvements:
II want to put myself on record for
paving said he, land in opposition to
those who propose to fight the improve
ment of our thoroughfares. So far the
opposition has come from nonresident
property owners only, the American Sc
curities company, an eastern concern,
and 1 do not think that a majority of the
resident property owners will be stam-
peded into taking action detrimental to
their best interests n against the inter-
ests of the city. I have lived long enough
to appreciate the value of municipal i'm
provements, and I would be glad to pay
for paving in front of every lot hat I
own in the city. l have helped to pay for
the paving of every Improvement district
that has been created and l am willing to
continue paying until every street in the
business portion of the city is paved"
Mr.. Curtis action in the paving matter
was provoked by the protest of the Amer
lean Security company, which was filed
with the city clerk Saturday by the local
representative, Ex-Governor Richards:
The protest reads follows:
Butte, Mont, March 4, 1893.
"To the Honorable Mayor and the City
Council of the City of Butte, Mont
"Gentlemen-The undersigned proper
ty owners of Butte, Mont, hereby re-
specially object to and protest against
improvements contemplated in improve
ment district No. 8, West Broadway from
Academy street to Montana street. Yours
respectfully,
"AMERICAN SECURITIES CO."
"By j. E. RICHARDS, County Agent"
This concern.i it is alleged, owns but two
lots in the new improvement district, blu
it is claimed that before the matter is
finally passed upon owners representing
more han half of the property in the dis
trict will file formal protests. If this is SO
West Broadway will probably not be paw
ed this year.
1t is said thai ex-Alderman Dorais,
who owns much of the property in the
proposed improvement district No. 3,
which contemplates the paving of Ari-
iona street between Broadway and Park,
will file formal objections in a few days.
Mr.. Dorais owns within two lots of the nee
essary one-half of the property in the
district to make his protest final. His as
sessments would be in the neighborhood
of 81, 900.
Property owners of the West Park
street Improvement district are said to
contemplate fling objections to paving.
The council will meet Wednesday evening
to hear objections.
