HE FAIR GROUNDS COMMIITEE

THE FAIR GROUNDS COMMITTEE.
The chairman of the citizens com
mittee on purchasing the Fair
Grounds for public park, called a
meeting Tuesday morning for the
same afternoon at Z o'clock.
This meeting was attended by only
limited number, as meetings gen
orally are when called on such short
notice-perhaps with thoughtful in
tention-to which the committee of
seven, to ascertain what the stock
holders would do for the city in the
matter, made a partial report.
This committee stated that 121
shares valued at S3,02j would be do
mated by the owners thereof, while
some had placed themselves on the
altar of their country and agreed to
sell at par value, when every on e
knows that it is worth fully 25 cents
on the dollar,
Other patriots, still more magnan-
imous, had risen to the height of
sublime craftsmanship and human
grandeur, by refusing to sell to the
city at all. These are able to buy
the grounds at what they would bring
at forced sale under foreclose.
Bat all this cuts no figure in their
actions at all. They are great men,
sworn to protect the interests of the
city and they are determined to stay
by her and save her, especially when,
in doing 80, they might have an OPP
portunity of buying a piece of prop
ety worth about $4,000 for about
$4,000.
But things are working swimming
ly. The commit ee was retained and
Instructed to proceed with its work.
Ia the'meantime a meeting may be
arranged after an hours previous
call, and by having only a picked few
present, strong resolutions may be
passed declaring that ''it is the sense
OF this meeting that it will be to the
citys detriment to purchase these
grounds for park and then"-selah.
