MAYOR WILL
VETO OPERA
MEASURE
RoIph Declares Proposed Or
dinance Is Defective and
Says He Will Not Sign 1t


Mayor Rolph has decided to veto
the bill for an ordinance providing
for the construction and control OF
the $1,000. 900 municipal opera house.
After careful study Of the bill and
several conferences with members of
the San Francisco Musical associa-
tion the mayor has found what he
declares to be serious flaw in the
ordinance, making it contrary to the
charter.
His principal objection is to that
provision which gives to the sub
seribers perpetual right to the boxes.
In addition he objects to the clause
which makes the board of trustees a
lf-perpetuating body.
Joseph d. Redding, representing the
subscribers, maintained that other cit
les in this country had municipal
opera houses similar to the one pro-
posed here. Rolph telegraphed last
night to st. Paul. Minneapolis and
other cities mentioned by Redding.
ard from answers receiyed this morn
ing he declares that Redding was
misinformed. The mayor is as anx-
ious. he states. to have the city pos
sess an opera house as are the SUBJ
scribers, but he believes that the lat
ter should donate the building to the
city without attaching any strings to
the. gift.
Rolph viii veto the bill before mid
night. as the time for signing expires
then.
