made by Mr.. Aitlen, proprietor Of tho Art Gal
lory, to take charge Of it, and hang it up ull<le
favorable circumstances. whcre NIL who Wantet
could SEQ it. This piAn hfr. Medill appears to re-
gard with favor, overlooking the fact that thu
picture belongs to tho city, and that tue owners
would DO taxed 25 cents cuch to look ut it in Mr
Aithon'e gallory. Thia proposition has croatct
a great commotion among those who hayo heari
Of it, and the result has been anoth
or, which posa0aBes moro fairness
Ths is to store tho painting il
some lro-proof building, without opening ths
caao in which it arrives, and rosorvo the unooy
eriug of it for the Exposition, where it wall be 81
people to sec t1er own picture, because tho.
would pay the tax any way. This creates III
monopoly nor cornor, and is respectfully recon-
monled to tho Mayor.
