new THEATER PLANS
EXPERT ON INTERIOR FURNISH
INGS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE
START WRECKING OLD
BUILDING SOON.

Final details preparatory TO the
razing of the Madison opera house,
to make way for the construction of
a new modern theater on the site are
being entered into by the company
which will erect the proposed play
house.
1t is expected that a representative
of a large concern which makes a spe-
cialty of designing interior arrange
ments and equipping theaters will ar
rive here tomorrow from Minneap-
oils. 1t is thought that he will spend
a couple of days in consultation with
members of the owning company and
with Mulvey Bros, who will take a
long lease of the new theater.
Representing the company who
will erect the theater, M. II. Colgrove
expects to leave in a few days for
Minneapolis, where he will consult
with the architects, who have drawn
tentative plans for the building. II
was said today that the dismantling
of the old opera house may be start.
ed earlier than had at first been ex.
pected.
In bringing the long sought for in
stitution to the city, no concession
or special privileges of any kind viii
be asked either OF the municipalit,
or the citizens, it al explained. Il
is thought probable, however, tina
the theater going public will be asked
to reserve seats at an increased cos
on the opening night. 1t has become
customary in cities in which modern
theaters have been erected for pa
irons to give evidence of their appre
citation by buying tickets at an ad
vance over the regular price, it Il
pointed out.
1t Is probable that the public vii
be asked to suggest a name for tn
theater.

PETITION ACCEPTED
COMMISSION ASKS FOR REPORT
ON PAVING COST-OTHER
BUSINESS TAKEN UP.

In accordance with the limitations
they had given when the original pc
tition for paving was submitted to
them, about a month ago. the city
commission at its regular monthly
meeting last night accepted the re-
vised petition for the paving of Egan
avenue from Third street to Tenth
street.
The petition which had been cir
culated by a committee OF the Mer-
chants association, was presented to
the commission by William Rowland,
secretary of the association.
Following the acceptance of the
petition, it was referred to the city
attorney and the city engineer. The
city attorney will prepare a formal
resolution, providing for the adopting
of the petition and advertising the
necessity for the work. The city en-
gineer will prepare estimates of the
approximate cost of the work. The
reports of both city officials will be
considered at next Monday nights
meeting of the commission.
Before its final adoption it will be
necessary to advertise the intention
of paving four weeks. II there are
no protests at that time, the commits
sion may advertise for bids for the
work. To check the measure now, il
would be necessary for the owners OF
65 per cent of the property to be
served by the proposed paving to pro
test, it was explained by a member OF
the commission. As owners Of more
than so per cent of the property have
signed the petition for the paving, il
is not considered likely that any for.
NAL protest will be forthcoming.
