fair Commission.

The first business was the report
Of the committee on classification,
which was received, but no action
taken. While a report from Secre-
tary Dickinson was being read the
Commissioners had an opportunity
70 think about what they are here
for, and the more thoughtful ones
discovered that there will be three
most important things for their con-
alteration. These are, first, the
settlement Of the site question; sec
ond, the establishment Of bureaus
to take the place of standing COM
mittees; third, the amalgamatioh Of
the powers possessed by the local d.
rectors and the Commission into
one head, that head being Director
General Davis. These are the three
main questions and nothing more
important for determination has
come before the Commission. 1t is
generally believed that this is to be
the great wind-up clash between
the two bodies. Unless a great
many canteens Of sweet oil are
poured on the troubled waters, there
will be great diversity Of opinion
IN all these questions.

iropped work on his resolution and
got the floor with a protest.
Vice President De Young, who
vas out or the room when the resO-
luton was offered, returned hastily
and Immediately moved to lay the
resolution on the table. Governor
Waller Of Connecticut seconded the
motion. 1t was a very irritating
thing, this word "site," and the
commissioner wanted TO get rid OF il,
20 when Mr.. Mckenzie moved an
amendment that "plans for public
buildings" be substituted in place Of
the word ''site'' in his original reso-
luton Mr.. De Young withdrew his
notion to table, and the resolution
passed.
Mr.. Mercer then introduced a
resolution y the effect that no other
building than the "fine arts'' be put
n the lake front. President Pal
