1t may seem absurd to some tc

talked of on the streets. i.

Stewart was authorized or rather
instructed to procure aud submit to
the council plans for a Jail and town
hall He secured plan and it was
submitted to the fire department
but as yet has not formerly come

ing plant. This means quite a build
ling and quite an expense to erect
it. 1t was proposed to bond the
town for this purpose and it was
estimated that it would require
about $1,000 or more to complete
such a building. - 49, "a
No one will dispute the fact thai
the village needs new house fol

whole structure would have been

whole structure would have been
cheap.
I: The city also needs an Opera
House. It has halls; it also has a
place fer the fire apparatus that is
all that can be said for them. A
Jail can be built with out issuing
a large amount of bonds, perhaps
without bonding at all, but If We
are to bond for $1,000. let's bond for
few more thousand and have an
Opera House. It can all be placed
under one roof, on one foundation
and heated by the same plant. The
additional expense will te small in
proportion to the improvement. The
furnishings such as seats chandeliers,
and stage scenery could be met by
dopular subscription or by sale of
seats for the opening night at an in
creased price.
The time may not be opportune
for agltating the erection of an .Op-
era House, but, if tits ripe for the
erection of town nall by bonding,
the question of enough for an Opera
House might just as we'll 60 with
it. Or, both questions could be sub
mitted at the same time and then
one or both could be defeated or
carried. =,
