everywhere and the association in all other
cities is regarded really as a municipal
institution. The associations OF the larger
cities have had no difficulty in raising
from $l50,000 to 100000 whenever such
sums were needed to make the establish
ment worthy of the city. Mr.. Pugh gave
an instance yesterday in which the citizens
of Minneapolis subscribed nearly S1OO, 900
