General Joseph X. Anderson said he
would spare the bushes OF the young
man who had Just taken his seat and
put the question at once; but before
doing 80 be would say that thecommIt-
tee received nothing for thor services.
They wanted to pay Mr.. Starkc for his
work and loss Of time from business,
but he absolutely refused TO receive one
cent. The Richmond men alone sub
scr;bcd the money needed-of course
including men doing business in Rich =
mond and residing in the county
Richmond did the work. Seventy thou.
sand dollars was subscribed and pald
in cash.
The municipal government would 90

not as mortgage on the property, but
as the Joint owner of the property so
that il can be used as a park, place cl

technical school. 1t is the duty OF the |
municipal government, he believed, to

Mr.. Ashton Starkeas the only candidate |
for president of the Society, and he |
was reelected unanimously.
Mr.. Starke said that he was profound
lv grateful for the tribute and honor
paid him. OF course | will consider 1t
as an ondOrsation Of my action. l do
not think, as / have before said'
there is any institution in the state
more beneficial to the people
than this organization. II l had
the time nothing would give
me more pleasure than to prosecute just
such work as this. There is nothing
love so much as TO do anything which
think will be Of benefit to my fellow
men. The knowledge that | have done
anything TO benefit one man is all the
reward would crave in any form.

time to give the Office what 1t Is due.
He said that he only allowed himself to
be elected temporarily, because we do
not want to let 30 until we have shown
a balance sheet-Ons showing that all
the debts have been settled. and not
leave to our successors IN Office

which il was when we took charge Of
il. There is work now being done by
lawyers. bv which we will be enabled
10 realize funds with which TO pay oil
all that is due. When that Is done
will call on the Society to elect some
one else president.
General Joseph r. Anderson thought
that a plan could be carried out 50 as
TO perpetuate an exhibit in the build
ipgs at the grounds by each county. 1t
would only cost them 500 year each
and at he same time conduct techni-
cal school. He was perfectly satisfied
that the 100000 needed would be OBJ
tanned from the city.
