After the foregoing reports had been
submitted, a controversy arose as to the
form OF the subscription list. Several of
the Committee Were of the opinion that
the $l25,000 which were contributed by
Mr.. Springer had been subscribed solely
tor the purpose OF erecting d music hail.
and not additional buildings Tor the us e
OF am Exposition.
Mr.. SAillito stated that Mfr. Springer's
ideas were to construct q hall In such a
man aer as to admit an Exposition, and
therefore the work ought 70 be vigor-
ously pushed forward for the reason That
if no music ball would be erected no per-
manent Exposition buildings would be
constructed, and that such favorable Cir
nent Exposition buildings had never yet
presented themselves. fFffyF 'tf
Mr.. Kirby, sag gested that the public
should clearly ydnuefstand that the Mu-
sic Hall was to be erected SO as to CON-
Dine both the ihterests or art and indus
try. After several other remarks had
been made, MI. Bugher proposed that
the form Of the subscription list be
changed SO as to read as follows:
We, the undersigned, donate = y - n
for the purpose ot building Music Hall,
for holding musical festiy ais,
concerts and expositi0ns, aud capable
Of being used TOR exhibitions of art, &c.
Inc form of the subscription list at
present reads: We, the undersigned,
donate n for the purpose Of build
II lie
musical festivals and concerts, and
capable of being used also for exhibi.
tlons Of art, fairs and public meetings,
or entertainments oil any kind not pro-
hlblted by law, SO.
A motion was then carried that this
proposition be referred to Mr.. Lincoln,
one OF the attorneys who drew up the
form OF the subscription list, tor the pur-
pose OF consulting with MIR. Springer in
regard to the change and to report ut
1clock this afternoon, to which time the
meeting adjourned.
