Australian Opera House Costs Rise Amid Lofty Crowds
The Sydney Opera House sails rise as costs balloon from early estimates of 3.5 million to the latest unofficial 25 million pounds. Completion target slips to late 1969 or beyond, while funding comes from state lotteries drawing about 100,000 pounds prizes. The project, rich with new construction methods, will house multiple halls, rehearsal rooms, restaurants, and lounges on a four and a half acre site near the Harbor Bridge.
