1t was thought advisable for these COM
mittees to begin work as soon as possible and
on motion OF John ". Parsons, the Secre-
tary was directed to notify all members in
dividually to meet at the Mayors Office next
Friday evening.
U. s. Kelly reported from the committee
which visited the Fair Grounds yesterday, to
examine as to water supply and lighting, that
proposition had been received to tap street
mains at two points, lay 1900 feet Of inch
pipe therefTom to interior OF grounds, set up
four troughs, each sixteen feet long, for
washing, and put in fourteen faucets for
drinking purposes for SOL. When it came
to lighting the case was more complicated.
The Electric Light company were willing
TO give free use of twenty-five lamps
tor two nights, ten along main
track and entrances and fifteen through the
camp, as required, but about two and halt
milesof wire would be required. and would
have to bs purchased at an expense, including
putting up, ETC., of about $500. Mr.. Kelly
had some suitable wire on hand and would
give its free use 90 lar as IL would 20. Il
II looked, from statements made, as though
the msnageD bad struck a snag on the tent
question. The supposition has been oil along
-. that tsnts could be had with little trouble,
from the government depot at Jacksonville,
but it appears likely, although not certain,
that, owing to the amount of red tape re-
Quired, this is not the case. Col. Fitzpatrick
and Capt. Pltnsm were made committee to
investigate the tent question at once and
learn the method by which tents were pro-
cured at Dayton, last year.
On motion OF Mayor Goodwin, chairman OF
sub-cOm mit,ees were instructed to makecare-
estimates Of funds required in their respective
departments, and report at the meeting Of the
Executive Committee TO be held Wednesday
evening (to-nighD. The meeting then ad-
journed.
Several matters are dependent upon the
settlement Of the tent question, as If it be-
comes necessary to hire the required number
from dealers, the total expense Of the encamp-
ment will be increased by so much.
