The special committee appointed to
inquire into the ACCESSIBILITY of having q
centennial history OF Wheeling publish
ed as requested by the Centen NAL Com
missioners. reported that they had given
the subject considerable investigation and
believed the request of the commissioners
should be complied with. The commit
tee were OF the opinion that well writ
ten history OF the commercial, manu-
factory snd merchantile interest OF
Wheeling, could be prepared, showing
from what she started and to what she
has attained, would be worth
hundred times its cost of publication.
The committee thought that 70 have a
history properly prepared would require
one or more persons TO devote their en-
tire attention to it for the next two
months. and Of course would have to be
paid for their services. The COM
mittee recommended no one. but
thought that sn appropriation of
$500 should be made to pay for the
preparation and publication Of the his
tory.
The report of the committee was laid
on the table.
