Judge Kennedy is about to build a
fine block west Of the Leader office,
80 feet deep with a front Of so feet.
Canton has been talking opera house
for years and many propositions have
been made to our citizens, all OF them
calling for a donation amounting to
nearly 81, 500. We are Of the opinion
that Judge Kennedy might be In
duced to convert the proposed new
business block into an opera house
for much less money than any out
slider would consider for a moment.
The Commercial Club should take
this matter up and consult the Judge
through a committee, and we believe
Canton will never receive a modern
opera house for less money than we
think he might be induced to accept.
The Commercial club should act
promptly in the matter.
