The reading OF the report which showed there
remained unexpended nearly s., 900, besides the
revenue fund of $4,000 pledged by the council,
naturally occasioned great deal Of congratn-
lation, and the question came up as to what
shall be done with the balance. Upon the motion
Of Major Heffelfnger the following resolution
was adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, In preparation for the suitable re-
ception and entertainment OF the Veterans OF the
Grand Army of the Republic, during the week
OF the national encampment held in our city in
July, the finance section OF this general commit
tee, under its direction, called upon the citizens
OF Minneapolis, the railroad companies centering
here and the city council for subscription or the
necessary funds, and whereas the response to
that request was SO prompt, so hearty, gener
, Gus and given with such evident regard for, and
appreciation OF the services of the old soldiers of
the great war for the Union, that an ample amount
money was in due time placed in the hands OF
the treasurer, and
HHeEEAs, Under the judicious management
of tho various subcommittee the important
matters OF arrangement of a camp, the decoration
of our principal streets, the reception and enter
tainment of the officers aud delegates OF the or
ganzation, and the very large number of visitors
were conducted with such success
as to give general satisfaction, and with such
economy that OF the money so literally contribu-
ted there remains, so it appears by the treasur-
81, 900 unexpended, with few, il any, bills yet
unpaid Now, therefore,
ReSOLUed, That tho treasurer be authorized
and directed to return to each OF the persons,
companies and corporations who paid in said
funds 20 per centum OF the amount Of each sub
scrption with copy Of these resolutions, which
are intended to serve both as an explanation that
the libcrality Of the giyers was greater
than our requirements, and an
expression of the grateful thanks of this com
miltee for that confidence and generosity which
reflects not less honor upon them than credit
upon our beautiful city.
