VICE PRESIDENT oDsLI
Vice President odell of the local directory
said that the directory in form ulating this BIN
had proceeded on the theory that the govern
ment In insugurating the exposition designatsA
two bodies TO carry out its will namely, the
worlds Columbian exposition and the worlds
Columbian commission.
TO both those agents were given special
powers ana work. On the exposition company
Was placed the duty Of finding an adeouass
site and $1,000. 900 with which TO produce shs
fair 10 the commission was delegated the
power and authority TO designate the scope
and plan OF the fair.
IL was evident that the Larger responsibility
rested with the commission IL was for IL 70
oetermine what limitations should be put %
the Undertaking. The commission had decided
that tie scope OF the exhibition should
De such as 90 require the expenditure of more
than Slo.ooO, 900. IL had determined that
the fair should Toe produced on such a scale n
TO require az, 800 90 OF sls.0O0 90. Hence
the necessity Of the exposition company for
funds beyond the 10000. 900 required by the
original act The further appropriation
asked Tor because u Was believed that this great
exposition was gong To rebound, not 20 the
credit, not 70 the advantage, not TO the benefit
oil any single locality, but to the benefit Of the
entire country.
