THAT MAJORITY REPORT AGAIN.

Since last week The PROGRESS ha
learned several things about thi
cemetery matter and Messrs. Toombs
and Benjamin's recommendation
which they, as public servants, should
explain. One of the most important
is an explanation of their reason fol-
not examining and pricing some OF
the other suitable tracts of land in
the city limits for the purpose de-
sired. Messrs. Koran, Grain, Tom
kies and others had very desirable
sites, and yet it appears that they
were not interviewed at all There
were others named in Mr.. Youree's
minority report who seem to have
been treated with the same indiffer-
ence by that incomprehensible ma
jority.
Now, Messrs. Toombs and Benja-
min, HE PRoGREss is not charging
you with malfeasance in office, but
when you consider that you have
passed by, without examining or
pricing, SO many sites equally as eli
glble as the one you SO enthusiastic-
ally recommended the purchase of,
you must admit that your actions
should be explained, not only in JUS
tice to yourselves, but to your friends
as we'll.
Messrs. Toombs and Benjamin are |
certainly aware of the fact that SIS
OOO is almost fabulous price for the
Currie tract. They are both good
business men, and the political oppo-
nent who would make q charge to the
would be characterized as q
trickster: then how can
hey explain their recommendation
hat tie cIty's money should be SO
expended.
The fact that some kind friend has
oaned Mr.. Currie $4,000 las his card
Gems to state) on this same piece of
is no argument of value {
hat it Is worth $4,000 at all. His
riend may be quite a philanthropist, s
r at least very warm friend of the !
wner of the land, for assuredly If !
o was to be gagged by this transac- 3
ion, he would be judged very un- 7
afe and badly posted business man, 2
Or as question of good judgment a
q financial affairs he has none at all,
lewed in the light that MI. Currie 4
laces him. No man or corporation /.
)uld long have money to loan if he
: it made it a practice to lend such is
sum on property of that value. So Il
Tough this majority of the commit 4,
70 may be aided and assisted by
lch a pungent, pointed and logical
ritter (the owner of the property the b
lblic does not lose sight of the fact Of
at this committee advocates the M
by this city, of land for T
ice which these same gentlemen
Q bound to know is exorbitant. We ce
AXE this statement, believing that m
ey would rather be regarded indif- 70
rent than incompetent. fo
Now, the fact that they will or NAV 81
sist on this purchase will add moth al
3 to them, bat will-must-debili- al
% their standing in the council and
Dir reputation as citizens. 70

SHREVEPORT'S BIG FAIR.
NUMEROUS LETTERS OF INQUIRY
POURING IN.

|
POURING IN.
The Secretaries Constantly Busy Respond
ing to Queries.
It seems that right here on The
scene where the big exposition of the
Louisiana State and Shreveport Elk
position is to be, some, in fact many,
are not as we'll posted on the matter
and magnitude of the next big show,
as the people abroad.
A query of The PROGRESS pro-
pounded to Secretary John j. Koran.
as to the prospects of the coming
Fair, elected from him the reply that
they were very encouraging. He
stated that his daily mail concerning
matters pertaining thereto was vol
luminous and steadily growing.
MIR. Koran likewise thinks that the
agricultural exhibits will be far
greater in both number and variety
than they have ever been, and that
the country generally will strive to
hold up its end of the line in the dis
play of its products. In connection
Herewith it might be valuable to our
readers to name here the different
premiums offered:
FOR COTTON.
"These prices are offered by the
Fair Association, and under the fol-
lowing rules:
The cotton to be raised in the
States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Miss
ssippi or Texas. No carded cotton
allowed, and no bale to weigh less
