Frank Watts has asked permission
of the town council to pile brick in the

construction of a much needed opera
house in the town. If the building on
the west was to be erected as brick
and an opera house built over both, it
would be money making deal, or at
least pay good interest on the invest
ment and give the town what it is
sorely in need ola good opera house.
