plicate, and are of opinion that they have no
authority to make any change in the same.
In the matter of the Application hav-
appropriation of funds ing been made by
for the Centennial EXLi- G. A. Burrows, d.
bition. D. II. Cowen ct. al.
to the Board to take
some action in obtaining an exhibit of the ag-
ricultural and mineral resources of Belmont
county, at the United States Centennial Ex-
hibition-after an investigation of the pow
ers conferred by the statutes, we are advised
that it is not possible to make an appropria-
tion to defray the expenses of such an enter
prise. We therefore recommend the citizens
of the county at large to contribute individu-
ally to the purpose, believing it to be an OBJ
ject worthy of such encouragement. The SUI
perior advantages of Belmont county for agri-
cultural, mining and manufacturing pursuits
ought to be extensively advertised and made
known. The Centennial Exhibition, with its
attractive features, and millions of visitors,
will afford an opportunity for diffusing such
knowledge unequalled in this age We there
fore recommend c. A. Burrows, ESQ.,, who
has already been commissioned by the State
Board of Centennial Managers, to act as the
agent of Belmont county, in developing such
display of specimens of the products of the
county, as will subserve its interest generally.
The apent thus appointed and recommended
will make such terms with exhibitors and 9TH
ers, as will compensate for the services render
ed in the absence of legal authority, on our
| part to make appropriation therefor
