NJ tho President and Members of the Cham-

Gentlemen: Knowing that you are ever
ready to advise and assist IN any InInS poil
tanning to the interest," not ony VI 81 i;lo,.t,-
of submitting to your honoraoio o'
attached statement:
The building committee in whose hands mas
been put the expenditure or the siov,ooo ap
Dropriated for the Improvement Oh inc s.aeo
fair grounds have found that the sun - 1oS
sufficient to make the improvements mee1eu
before fine holding of the fair in the IAN. You
viii see nv examining the attached estimate
thot we are short some $4,000, If we DO what
is proposed, and it appears 10 US tna' We
should do. at least, as much as tnat, anu
more if we can. Should your views asr Go
with ours in the matter; the qu .e;oS a,,,o,,nt
considered is s'How shall the required amount
be raised?' .+o
We take it for granted that as the staIe
owns the grounds and will own the improve
ments thereon, it will eventually pay III
them. With this in view we woulo SUCCESS,
and. if YOU have nothing better, favor the
following plan for raising the necessary
amount Let not less than forty OF the pusl-
ness men of Ramsey county sign note que
in two wears from January 10, 1000, iOr co.
GOO. drawing per cent. interest, payaole an
nnalIv- This note can no doubt be negotiated
nv ms at par. The business men or Henhepln
county shall also be called upon to raise a
like amount. and six or eight OF the prln-
cinaI towns of the state asked to raise S4,O0O,
MAKING 500. GOO. If we obtain the necessary
amount in this way, we confidently expect
the NEXT legislature will make an appropr1a-
ton to pay the notes at maturity, put OF
course if it does not, the parues signing une
notes will be liable for the payment OF them.
Should st. Paul and MINNEAPOLIS RESPOND W
this request favorably, we VIII go on Wlen .ne
improvements even though the outslue to"ns,
excepting ST. Cloud, fail to do their part.
We leave this matter, gentlemen, III your
hands, and trust that you will take immaculate
action, as we have no time to lose. we can
not 90 ahead with the art gallery ana oIner
needed improvements without your ASSIST
anc. Very truly yours, N T. CLARKE.
