SURPLUS FUNDS FROM THE GREAT
EXHIBITION.

TO Tlil IDITOI Or TIM DAILY WM.
SIL-4 am pleased to find in the Daily News so
stanch and able an advocate for justice to our pro-
vincial towns in the question of disposal of the sur-
plus funds arising from the Great Exhibition.
I feel that it is nay a waste of time now to dis-
arm the question d whether it would be worth while
to tetain the 01' Palace on its present site. I
OAR hold opinions expressed in my

• • I hope that the political fever which is now spmtd-
Ala Wee the land will not prevent municipal bodies
tims stirring on this very important question ; for
elles the metropolis, and particularly. the west-end
