BIN. "A truly business like meeting Of
the Business Mems Association was held on
Friday evening last. The sense OF the meet
ing was taken as to the ACCESSIBILITY ofhavlng
celebration and was carried in the affirma
tive. There being a number of weighty
conditions upon which success or failure
depends, 1t is not deemed ADVISABLE to finally
order and determine the event, until it has
been clearly and satisfactorily demonstrated
that all of the essential conditions can be
met.
Among these arises naturally, first, that of
cost and the certainly Of its being readily
met; this is being developed by committees
and will be reported at the meeting tomorrow
friday evening.

supplemented by the ownership of available
sites for building purposes should constitute
the first class and should be the heavy con-
tributors; next the larger business interests
but having no unimproved lands; third the
lesser business interests and lastly the EN-.

individuals composing these classes must
subscribe in proportionate amounts; the first
and third classes must be relied upon to
raise the main part of the required amount,
the former by a literally large individual
subscription and the latter by coming for
ward to man with their portion.
Of one thing, however, our people may
rest assured: there are no three or four men
here who are intending to render themselves.

demonstration and if those who are to be
benefited thereby desire to have 1t, they will
be required to aid in meeting the expense
thereof; hopes founded upon any other
basis are liable to be doomed to disappoint
