Protest Against Appropriations
From The City
THE MEETING LAST NIGHT
The Stars and Stripes Will Be Unfurled
During Fiesta
Opposition to the Appropriation by the City
VIII Now Be withdrawn by Those
Who Objected

The Stars and Stripes will float during
Fiesta week. Old Glory will be thrown to
the breeze on every street and will greet
the eye of Americans and foreigners alike.
IT was so decided last evening by unan-
imous vote of the advisory board of La
Fiesta.
When the meeting of the finance COM
mittee of the Council took place yesterday
forenoon protest wis presented against
any appropriation being made from the
city funds for the Fiesta celebration. 1t
was signed by 144 residents.
The finance committee OF the Fiesta
committee came before the finance COM
mittee of the Council to say few words
This committee is composed OF Ii. Nj.
Newmark, H. Jevne' and j. S, Salkey.
These gentlemen weri, earnest in their re-
marks, asserting that there should be no
distractions on the part of the laboring
men, for already the Fiesta committee is
maintaining pay roll OF 5000 per week,
and nearly every dollar spent is being
kept right here in the city.
Mr.. Newmark when shown the protest
sent in, was naturally somewhat wrought
UP, as were also the other gentlemen of
the Fiesta Committee and he said that 1T
was apparent that those who protest fear
that the Fourth of July celebration is to
suffer in consequence OF the Fiesta.
81 will make this offer, said Mr.. New
mark: II will give double the amount to
a Fourth of July fund that any man
whose name is upon that protest will
give. !"
The finance committee of the Council
listened to all that the finance committee
of La Fiesta had to- say and at-the con-
clusion of the remarks decided to lay the
whole matter over fol one week.
One member STATE to a Herald re-
porter yesterday thaty the protest would
have no weight with him.
During the afternoon those of the sign
ers of the protest mel several of the Fiesta
committee members and discussed the
matter.
1T appeared that during last years cele-
bration, the chairman of the decoration
committee had omitted to place the
American flag among the Fiesta colors
and that he had made no preparation to
unfurl the Stars and Stripes this year. The
signers of the prote st took exception to
this omission and the Fiesta committee
Immediately recognized the justice of
their case.
At the meeting in the evenings as above
stated, the matter was rectlfled, and the
decoration committee was instructed 10
give the American flag proper representa-
ton in the decorations:
1t is thought that all objections to the
appropriation of the city's funds will now
be Withdrawn.

tee, and ]. S. Salkey, chairman Of the
