Mayor Shaw vetoes opera house license increases

Mayor Jack Shaw vetoed two city ordinances boosting the opera house license from $100 to $250 and bill posting from $10 to $150. He cited exorbitant costs and noted council members who supported reconsideration. The decision follows prior trips and bond concerns, with no immediate override expected. A Philharmonic Ladies Quartet from Chicago will perform April 4 at Wisconsin Hall for the public library benefit, with tickets selling at $1 for reserved seating and 75 cents general admission. A lost handbag incident is reported between North Yakima and upper Moxee, requesting the return of a lady’s purse at Tie Herald office.
