ROL PH ASKS
! NEW OPERA
MEASURE
viii Approve Bill Eliminating
Features He Objected To
in Original Measure

The supervisors public welfare
committee, with the exception Of A. J.
Gallagher. laid before Mayor RoIph
this morning their suggestions for a
compromise and received his assur-
anee that if new ordinance can be
drafted eliminating the self perpetu-
ating board of trustees and the sub
seribers' perpetual rights to seats and
boxes, he would approve the bill
Gallagher has stated positively that
he has accurate information that the
required II votes to overcome the
mayors veto can not be obtained.
NEW BILL FAVORED
During the mayors absence on his
Washington trip negotiations Will be
pursued toward securing the subscrib-
viii make the opera house in the ma
ture of gift outright. Rolph strong
" favors such an arrangement. Su-
pervisors Payot, Murdock. Hayden
and Bancroft. who met with the
mayor this morning. will strive to
carry out this program. They de-
clare they have an ordinance agree
able to both sides in readiness for
Rolph's consideration on his return
from the capital.
Supervisor J. Emmett Hayden of the
public welfare committee said. after
the conference with the mayor this
morning, that there was practically
no change in the situation. but that
negotiations would be continued
toward modification of the opera
house ordinance that would overcome
the mayors objection
RoLPH STANDS FIRM
Mayor Rolph has not altered his
views regarding the veto BILL he
said. He still objects to self-per-
petuating board of trustees and to
perpetual rights TO the seats. Our
object was to gain from him some
modification of his views, with the OBJ
ject of effecting compromise. We
find, however. that we must bend our
efforts toward securing concessions
from the opera house subscribers. We
expect to have several conferences
with them during the mayors abb
sence at Washington, and hope that
when he returns we may have a def
mite proposition to present to him.
