Illinois, in speaking to POST reporter Of the action
Of the board OF Control of the Worlds Fair in decid

appropriation Will be asked. Congress will. how
ever confident make loan to the BOARD for that
amount, for guaranteed II will be by the receipts.
which will aggregate three times the amount asked,
there will be no failure on the part Of the Government
TO have it rcraid Congress in this way advanced
