Upon motion, the following pro-
gramme was unanimously adopted as
the best method for increasing the
subscriptions:
!. That the appropriation Of half o
million for the State of Pennsylvania,
outside OF Philadelphia, is deemed
moderate and should be promptly Sc
cured.
2. That to the accomplishment of
this end each member OF the Commit
tee shall undertake to form the proper
organization with the county or coun-
ties for which he has been appointed.
3. That the form of organization
shall be the appointment OF Sub-Com-
mittccs iD the several counties TO con-
sist of not less than five members each,
whose duty it shall be to apportion to
the several towns, districts and wards,
the proper share of the whole amount
assessed upon tho county on the basis
of $500, 900 for the State. Said county
COMMITTEES and Sub Committees shall,
if they deem il expedient, carry out
the plan of apportionment to each cit
izen, or to each as they may know 10
be able 10 contribute. The proper
and easy method Of doing this, will be
to take the borough, township or ward
duplicate and assign such number of
shares as they may think proper to
each name. This has been the most sue
cessful mode of obtaining church and
other subscriptions. Many persons
entirely willing to do their full part are
greatly at loss 10 know what that
parts. Ifthis be pointed ont by those
having the matter in charge, such
citizens will be apt to act upon the
suggestions presented to them.
4, Each Solicitor for stock should
be furnished with statement show
ing the total amount assessed to tho
State and the proportion of that
amount assessed upon the county and
district in which he is engaged, and
also the amount which is suggested
each citizen should subscribe.
5. Solicitors are TO receive no pay
ments OH subscriptions, but shall de-
posit their subscription books with
such banks in the county as have been
authorized to act as depositaries of
Centennial stock, which banks will
receive payments on stock and time
certificates. Accordingly, in every
county or city, whore the local com
mittec may deem it expedient, il is
recommended that the plan of person
al solicitations be first exhausted upon
the citizens of large means before the
plan of assessment be introduced.
The stock, $40 por share, 20
per cent. of which is payable on sub
scription, or in brief period thcreaf-
ter, and the balance upon three months
notice in the years 1874 and rs. For
the purpose Of equalizing the position
of subscribers to tho stock, six per
cent interest will bo allowed on all
amounts paid in till tho 1st of May,
1876.
7. 1t shall be the duty of each
county committee, in connection with
the members of the State Executive
Committee of the respective counties
or districts, to make arrangements for
holding mass meetings of the people
and securing the presence of eminent
speakers in the inerest OF the Centen-
nial Exhibition. Application for speak
ers should be made to the Chairman,
No. 904 Walnut street, Phila.
s. The Chairman is authorized to
gil ali vacancies:

adopted by this Committee, be printed

mend that such public meetings shall
be held in the remaining counties of
the State.
