the ground that IL is not right for the
city TO burden the taxpayers with an
enterprise that will Weld no profit and
will seriously cripple private enter.

Mr.. Bregger stated that a year or SO
ago before he purchased the opera
house from Parks d Gunsberg be call
ed upon the city council and was as
sured tnat the city had no intention of
engaging in the opera house business.
On the strength Of that assurance. be

and big taxpayer He mas let con-
tracts to the amount OF about 81, 500
for rehabilitating the present opera
house and should the city build an
opera house his investment will be
greatly deprecated and be, as large
taxpayer, will be- forced to contribute
to.support AN industry in competition
with his own
THESE are the points which Mr..
Bregger makes in opposition to the
proposal. He wants the people 10 know
his position and he was informed that
the columns of this paper are open to
every one TO present their views. irres-

The commissioners are anxious tc
get at work on the Mansfield and the
Amasa roads and 10 get crew going
at the Iron River end working this
way. Grading is progressing nicely
at the Fortune lake hill and that point
needs no more attention from the com
mission
A survey has been made Of the bal
ance OF the road necessary TO connect
the new Amasa road with the main
read. II is probable that a crew will
be started there very shortly.
The Mansfield road will receive the
first attention of Mr. Burridge and iust
as soon az a survey can be made bids
will be asked for
One thing that delays the starting of
work is the necessity for making sur.
veys This work takes time more

idea Of For that reason the commence.
