"Wanganui Opera House Company, Limited. TH 18 Company is being formed for the purpose of erecting a substantial and commodious Op an House en the Bite of the present Oddfollows' Hall in Bidgway Street. Tbe loase, at present owned by Mr ! Tasker, bas about five years to ruo, but j Mr Tacker is willing to transfer the lease and goodwill to the Company on tho following tsrms : — 1. That he receive .£IOO in cash. and JJ2OO in folly paid up shares in tbe Company. 2. That it is proposed to eroct two shops in connection with the new building, one of them ia to be leased to him for the term of fourteen years at an annual rental of J852. ■ Ae the Company will own, &% an BESet, the present building, the cycle shop adjoining and all the fittings and fixtures in the building (wbich should realise a substantial sum), the Provisional' Directors are of opinion thnt tbe terms asked sre not unreasonable. The Oddfellows, who own tte site, are willing to lease it for the term of 80 yoar* at an annua) rental cf Xl2O. Application bas been made to the Borough Council, who are favourable for a grant of land at the back of the pr.aent building. Should a sufiicient number of chares bu Bpplied for, it is proposed to immediately I invite architects to submit competitive I plans to the Directors and the wcrk wiU J be commenced as soon as the legal formalities of registering the Compiny have been completed and a geaeral meetiDg ci shareholders has been held. The Provisional Directors desire to point out :— 1. Tbat owing lo the present uniatisfactory Theatre accommodation many oi the leading companies omit Waoganui when making arrangements for a lonr, thus depriving the inhabitants of an opportunity of seeing ail that is beet in Dramatio and Musical' Art. 2. That no better or more central site is now, or is likely at any future time, tc be available. 3. That the prospective earnings from Theatrical and Concert peif^rmancas as well as from Polit cal snd Bel gious meet. ings.Bazwrs.and other source?, wool(J,ca'. culated upon the takings at the present building, and after making allowance foi rates, taxes, insurance, working and managerial expenses and sinking furd leave, ample margin for a satisfactory dividend. 4r. That the movement should be supported on public groundr, as a distinct advantage to the town, independently of its being, as io is believed to be, a sound and remunerative investment. 6. That although eeveial schemes bave from to time to time been prnpated for providing a 1 uitable Theatre for Wanganui, they have all fallen through owing to conflicting interests, and tojthe fsct tbat tbe population of the town would not juetfy a second Theatre whilst tbe Oddfellows' Hall is tt;)l nsed for thit purpose. By Becuring the present site and building thereon the chief stumbling blook is at once remon d. .. 6. The shares are flxe-i t,t £l eacb so that all may participate to some extent a a movement wbich is emulated to greatly benefit the town, both directly and indirectly- Persons EuhEcribing for five shaies and upwards will be requited to pay 2* 6d ->d application, 2- Gd on allo'ment and the balance ii calls net exceeding 6s, at intstvals of not lees than three months, at tha discretion of the Doctors.
