OPERA HOUSE
VII Be Leased To WV.
Lapoint Again
IF GUARANTEE IS SHOWN
Old Lease Declared Vacated
And a New One Will
Be Made
IF GUARANTEE IS SHOWN

At the special meeting Of the board
Of aldermen last evening the first at
tempt was made to straighten out the
mudd.e in which the opera house lease
b As fallen. 1t was voted to refer the
question of new lease to the prop.
erty committee and.they are instr Ict.
ed 20 60 ahead and prepare new
lease for w. W. Lapolnt, if the guar
antee that the rent will be paid is
shown to be all right.
All the board were present when
the meeting was called to order, and
Alderman Patterson Was chosen clerk
pro tenn. The meeting was called for
the purpose of taking some definite
action in regard to the opera house
lease. 1t appears that the new lease
in which A. E. Bruce and w. W. La
point are the leSeeS contains provis
ion that II they do not file salts
factory bond the lease shall be vacat-
ed The lease was originally made
out to w. f. Morse and w. W. La.
point but as Mr. Morse had transfer
red his interest to Mr.. Bruce it was
virtually new lease. The old bond
given by the former lessees had ex-
pired and new one had not been Ill
ed So the city to protect itself took
possession Of the opera house Mon1ay
evening and placed Clarence Lease In
charge.
1t was stated at the opening Of the
meeting that Mr.. Lapoint would furn-
ish a guarantee that the rent would
be paid as he had the backing OF one
of the banking institutions Of the
city.
On the motion of Alderman Mann
it was voted that the lease be declar-
ed vacated. Mr. Lapoint appeared
before the board and said that he
would take the lease and would fur
nish a good guarantee IN regard to the
rent, provided certain slight changes
were made in it regarding local enter
1ainments and the bond.
1t was decided to make the chan
ges as requested and that the proper
" cummittee make out new lease as
soon as a satisfactory guarantee was
shown hem By Nj. Lapont. 1t was
decided to do this if possible by Mon
day evening.
The request of the Consolidated
Lighting Co., for permission to set
poles on summer ano Merchant street
was referred to the street mmittee
with power to act.

basement of John H. Griffin S store at
