SeVeral iOcals anticipating the 1avOt-
able report Of the committee, had already
indorsed the proposition and were ready
to bear their part OF the expense that
may have to be incurred. The Musical
Assembly had taken up the question Of
raising funds for the bureau at their last

being that a handsome amount would be
realized. 1t was stated that while nearly

the undertaking, the delegates were of the
spinion that the merchants would respond
Eost generously. The committee will con
tinue to meet every Monday evening in The
Times building, until relieved by the per
manent committee, which it is suggested,
shall be appointed directly from the locals.
