City Council Closes Larsen Opera House Over License Hike
Edward Fournier the city bill poster and operator of Larsen's theatre faced a decisive city council vote raising the opera house license from 100 to 250 dollars per year. The action, plus a separate 150 dollar bill poster license, led Fournier to warn the Yakima venue would shut after the season unless the ordinances were repealed.
