Upon the question as to whether or not
the city would furnish the funds to defray
expenses, Mayor Gregory said he was de-
cldo6lu ouoYco m fhof nlan hnf hod not
consulted with his colleagues in regard to
the matter.
D. Lubin thought that there would be no
success in the collections unless every bus
mess man in the city were appointed on
the Finance Committee. They would then
feel it their dnty to contribute, and the
general feeling of the business men would
be to make a contribution and get off the
committee.
Major Anderson, NJ. R. Beard, w. s.
Leake, G.. A. Crouch, T. w. Sheehan and
others thought the funds should come from
the city. They had had experience on
canvassing committees, and declared they
would not serve when they could possibly
get out of it.
G. K. McClatchy wanted to know how
the city could pay the money. They couldn't
pay their debts now.
Mayor Gregory begged to differ with Mr..
McClatehy on this point. He thought a
Finance Committee should be appointed
and instructed to call on the Board OF
Trustees, and they would doubtless be &C.
commodated in regard to the funds.
A general discussion arose as to the plan
of celebration, and it was decided to have
the regular morning procession, including
the militia, fire brigade, floats, ETC., literary
exercises in the afternoon, and Q grand fire.

in the afternoon, and thence proceed TO the
Pavilion, where the exercises would be
held. Patriotic songs will be learned by

cises was appointed NJ. r. Beard, j. H.
Pond, ]. W. johnson, Miss Mary J. Wat
son, Miss Harriet Mccormick, Mrs. Num-
ford and Mrs. Taylor.
There will be no regatta.
Major Anderson moved that all military
and civic organizations and societies, also
State, county and city officers, be invited to
parade, and the motion was unanimously
adopted.
The meeting as a whole was very en-
thusiastic, and there is every prospect for
a grand observance of the Fourth. The
meeting adjourned to next Wednesday
evening.
