Cable and Sutherland among them; that he
had already made partial promise to one Hit

another of $4,000 each before June 1st Hitzel

that the expenses of the commission were hea-
Wy and that no appropriation had been made by
congress, and suggested that they give him as

unpaid.

grant space outside of the building for any pur-
pose. Jewett's concession was made and con-
tracts entered into, involving $4,000 the under
