Yesterdays food of missives was an exceptionally
large one, and Secretary Sreer and his assistants
found that there was no half-holiday' for them,
One thing which bothcrs the promoters Of the
great project Is the disposition OF the various In.
dustfies to send IN batch OF names for the Mayor
to choose from in making up his committees, ini
stead OF deciding upon the one person 10 represent
them. 10 would greatly simplify matters II this
were borne in mind. Only 90 committeeman are
TO be appointed, yet Secretary Spcer said ysster-
day that more than 400 names had already been
sent in, some industries sending in FIVE six and
seven. The result of sending in so many names
is to compcate the selection, and TO prevent the
committees from having the thoroughly repre-
sentative character which the Mayor desires I'd
give them.
