TION.

Congressman Roswell P. Flower has resigned from
membership in the General Executive Committee, hi
official duties in Washington preventing him from tax
ing an active part I'm the work Of the committee
Charles A. Dana has been appointed to ill the vacancy
thus created.
Referring to the recent statement Of Chauncey NJ
Depcw pointing out the necessity OF action on the part
OF the state Legislature toward putting the project
Of the Worlds Fair on a broad and solid basis as
imperative before Congress may be expected to give
much heed to the claims Of NewYorh John NJ.
Bowers. Of the General Executive Committee when
asked Yesterday OF what that action should properly
consist said that the Legislature should pass two
acts one of which could be modelled after that passed
by the Legislature in 1850 in reference TO the pro
posed exhibition Of 1883 entitled an" enabling act'
II empowered any corporation created BY the Congress
of the United States to acquire, hold, and improve
real estate for the purposes OF an International Elk
hbitlon.
The second act which should be passed according
to the suggestions of Mr. Bowers, would authorize
either the incorporaOrs of the Exposition the city
Itself to acquire such lands would be necessary
by the right of eminent domain, seeing that the use
of such land would be for public purposes. This
would provide for the requirement Of land about
which there might be difficulty in obtaining pos
session for the uses Of the Fair
Mr.. Bowers thought that if the city willing
to assist the project tho Of acquiring land
on behalf of the Exposition, the Legislature could
easily be prevailed upon TO give the necessary author
iy for it TO do Then the land could be leased
lent TO the persons conducting the Exposition. AS
the city cannot give lend money 10 the enterprise
nor buy stocks or bonds In any corporation its
efforts bringing the Fair to successful issue should
be in the acquisition Of land.
Mr. Bowers believed that majority Of the members
the General Committee in favor of the scheme
that the city should acquire such land could not
be possessed IN any other way. 1t would be good
chance for the city TO get land not built up and
buildings erected
be greatly Increased The Legislature might give the
Fair corporation the power TO acquire land OF which
the city might take possession. OF
such action would not have any relation 10 property
which had been freely leased or lent by the owners
themselves.
In closing Mr.. Bowers said that the passage Of
such measures would overcome any difficulties which
might arise In the of people indispOsed to let
their property equitable terms. The bills would
not have any partisan features, but would be drawn
up I'm the spirit the Congress siOnal bill, in
pushing which there should be break in the
energetic means adopted.
