TO SHOW OFF SAVANNAH.
THE PROPOSED MANUFACTURERS
EXHIBIT AT ATLANTA.

Mayor Myers VIII Probably Appoint
the Committee TO Take Charge of
the Matter on His Return From
New York TO-day-Mr. Haskell TO
Return From Florida This Morn
ing and VIII BE Chairman of the
COmmittee-Necessity for Early
Action.
Mr.. L. W. Haskell. who has been IN
Florida some time. is expected back to-
day Mr.. Haskell is a member OF the
executive committee OF the Georgia Man
ufacturers Association.
When the secretary Of the association,
Mr.. 7. II. Martin. was here a week ago
a conference was held with the citizens
industrial committee with a view TO the
manufacturers of Savannah making an
exhibit in the manufactures building
which the association will erect at the
Atlanta exposition.
There was unanimous sentiment in the
committee in favor OF an exhibit. The
fact that Savannah has over 10000 in
vested in manufacturing enterprises is a
sufficient pledge that it will have an exhib-
it that will fully represent its importance
as an industrial center.
Mayor Myers. as chairman of the indus
trial committee, was authorized 10 appoint
a special committee from the manufac-
turers to take hold Of the matter at once.
It is necessary to know within a very
short time what amount of space will be
required in the exhibition building. In
Mr. Haskells absence it was thought
best by Mr.. Martin and the members Of
the industrial committee to await his re-
turn before taking any further action. As
soon as Mayor Myers returns from New
York which viii be to-day, the
committee will be appointed. Mr..
Haskell, in the meanwhile, will con-
fer with the manufacturers and will ar
range so far as is possible, for such an
exhibit as will creditably represent Sa-
vannahs industrial interests. Mr.. Has
kell will be chairman of the committee,
Mayor Myers said before he went north.
As soon as the committee has been APP
pointed and the manufacturers have been
seen a meeting will be called at which the
matter will be thoroughly discussed and
the amount of space required will be de-
cided on. Mr. Martin is expected to be
present al the meeting.
Mr. Martin has visited every manufac-
turing town IN Georgia, ana the plan LOT
a Georgia building adopted by the Man
ufacturers' Association has met with a
hearty Endorsement everywhere. Already
more space has been taken than was pro-
vided for in the original plan and it has
been necessary to provide for a larger
building to meet the demands for space.
The plan of grouping exhibits in order
that each city may get the full benefit
of its industries has been adopted This
also materially lessons the expense Of
an exhibit as it enables those exhibitors
who do not care TO have an especial at
tendant to look after their exhibit 20
have one man care for all the exhibits AMI
pro rate the expense.
The building to be erected by the Man
ufacturers' Association was originally
planned to provide 10000 feet of floor
space. 1t has already been necessary 20
increase the amount of space to 30,00l
feet The building will be distinctively a
Georgia manufacturers building and viii
not contain a single thing that is not
made in Georgia. For this reason it IS
expected to accomplish a great deal in
making known the resources and indus
tries of every section of the state. The
executive committee is DESTROYS that every
section shall be represented in it, and the
members of the committee from this Sec
ton are especially DESTROYS that Savan-
nah shall have an exhibit creditable to its
large and rapidly growing industries.
