:. The matter of ,ereeting building for
Minnesota, and the cost. and design of
the same. came up. but, owing to. the
negligence on the part Of certain coun-
ties in raising their quota OF the addl-
tlonal fund wanted. no, action was
taken. H., -
The. failure of Hennepin county to
raise its quota of the extra amount re-
quired for the contemplated exhibit was
explained very satisfactorily by Prof.
Tousley, who was called before the
commission for that purpose. 1t seems,
according to Prof. Tousley's staten ent,
that enough Minneapolis business men
have signed a document expressing a
Willingness to sign the notes required
to raise the amount, but, as yet, have
not signed the notes. This is owing, to
the fact that Col. c. Nee. Reeve, who
is now on his way to Russia, left with
out leaving the list OF signers in the
proper hands to secure the signing of
the notes. Col. Tousley promised that
the notes would be signed and the
money raised on them by the next
meeting, even if the list that was left
with Col. Reeve does not show up be-
fore that time. The failure of Col.
Reeve to properly attend to this matter
was the cause of the commission not
taking any action on the proposed
building, but can only be attributed to
the colonel having too many state mat
tiers in charge.
