James M. Scott, banker and broker

The business men of the city and
state ought TO take up the idea
and work IL for all there is ia it. The
city IL inclined To be apat hetic in this

the scheme and believe IL to be feasible
The work should be begun without de-

Individual manufacturers will take care

Joshua Wilbour, of Wilb our, Jackson
e. o-If the plan could be carried out
in the righ manner 1t would be a good
thing, but have some doubts as to the
possibility OF doing so. The expense

To paying oasis. III the scheme of the
News could be literally carried out the

Charles Il. Vaughan, OF Miller e.
Vaughan, bankers aud brokers--I am
young man, and consequently am en-
thusiatic over efforts to enlarge the town,
SO heartily favor the idea 1t seems to
me TO be a good theory. and should be put
| into actual practice. The city needs To be
advertised, and there is no bet er way to
| do it than to put man Oh the grounds
at Chicago with orders to do his level
best for Providence. IL Is what the city
has needed for a long time. and now t at
| the idea has been started IL should not
be allowed TO rest.
Alderman Little-If we could have
man capable OF doing all that could be
done In the line proposed 1t would be a
good thing.
Alderman Burrows-I think it would
be a good idea it we could get the right
man. Any one
Like Colonel wyman
would answer the purpose.
Councilman Burton-I5 would be a
good thing. The city ought to be doomed
aud so the scheme should be considered.
Councilman Read-It is "A good idea.
Councilman McGann = The idea is
good, excellent The suggestion should
be carried out. for the city would be
benefited. IL but one big industry was
broug here 1t would pay.
Clinton ID. Sellew, president Of the
common council-It is a good idea. Any
thing Of "a legitimate character to boom
the city should be put Ia operation.
Olneyviile Views.
Senator George +. Beane-I think that
il Providence and the state wants to keep
apace with other states they had better
wake up.
j. B. Thompson, sup, rintendent of the
Harrison steam mill-It would be we'll to
have man. if the commissioners cannot
| attend toit.
II. f. Dyer-A grand idea. Rhode
Island should have man TO represent it
in the best possible manner. Sucb OPP
portunities don't happen Of Ell, to show
ourselves We want to be well repre-
sented, l would like To see three goo /
men. business men should look the
matter up and see that all things are
done for the best interests of the state.
r. Melvin--I think IL an excellent sug-
| gestion. i should rather give the sub

| The state should look we'll to it's own
| intei ests. A public meeting should be
| held at once.
Peter Burke, manager Talbot g. Co.
| A grant good idea, aud should be done.
George Weaver--I should think that
| this is something that the exhibitors
| should attend to themselves. IL is my
| opinion that one man could not do justice,
| and l doubt its feasibility. One man
| would be lost in the grand total. Ny
| experience has been in expositions of this
! anything, but there are lots of men and
| concerns who are ready to advertise
their goods at any cost.
| g. B. Johnson--I supposed the matter
| had all been arranged before this late
| date Give us a man with lots of push to
represent the state. Any industry that
