CHICAGO, Sept. 2).-At the opening of the
session this morning of tho Worlds fair
commission the report of the committee on
site was read. The report recommended
the adoption of the dual site as rendered by
the local directory and stated that the title
to jackson park and Midway Plaisance was
perfecl, and the title to Lake Front park
sufficient for fair purposes. After an eX-
tended discussion it was decided this after
noon to recommend the local directory most
earnestly that the site for the fair be re-
str1cted to Jackson and Washington parks
and the connecting Midway Plaisance.
The committee estimated there was
transportation for 10000 people per hour
each way and that the limit was capable Of
an increase. Various propositions and
amendments were presented and discussed
at length. Finally the following resolu-
lions by Martindale, of Indiana, was
adopted, II to s. Resolved, That in the
opinion of this commission, one single site
for the exposition is desirable, and that
part of such site should be on the border of
the lake, that the directors may pro-
cure eand present to the commission
the most desirable site, adopting Springton
park, Midway Plaisance, and Jackson
park lying south of the north line of the
Midway Plaisance, extending through to
the lake together with the Washington
park club, for live stock and such exhib-
It's. That, while we do by this reconsider
our action accepting Jackson park and
Lake Front, we respectfully, but
procure and present to the commission the
single site above outlined. That the special
committee yesterday appointed, to whom
was referred the communication in refer
ence to a site from the directors, is author
lied and directed TO confer with said direct
ors, and report to this commission whether
such single site cannot be procured and
presented to this commission.
