The matter was referred 70 the army
post committee. ana J. 9. Goldsmith.
chairman Of the committee on raiaing the
fnnd. sent the following reply to senator
Squire yesterday evening:
VIII complete subscription BY Nay Is
Transfers Of real estate win be arranged
Immediately after. VIII report progress"
Mr.. Goldsmith was seen after the board
- trustees adjourned. and said:
Why You should subscribe.
Both committees are working vigorous
~, and from present prospects we expect to
complete the work by May Is. Donations
of both ooin and land are coming In stead
iiy. and the only bar to progress is the
hesitAncy Of various individuals In naming
the amount Of their subscriptions A sys-
temAtic canvass OF the city is being made.
and each building Is being thoroughly
looked after by Z man specially charged
with that duty. Every one Interested In
the welfare OF Seattle 10 expected to con-
tribute something. The idea that every
one 10 to be benefited except the man who
suoscribes Ii perfect nonsense. What az
fects the general welfare Of the city re-
fleets on each individual citizen. The COM
mittee VIII take pleasure In publishing
. full list Of subscriptions at the end Of
this week. by which time II hopes to have
reached high water mark.
II every one were prepared to do his
best promptly the moment the committee
calls on him. and would DO 80 cheerfully.
there would be no delay In closing up this
matter. Instead Of assisting the commit
tee In every possible way. however. there
are many Who make an offer OF Q sub
ecription. knowing well that such an
amount from them will not be accepted,
and then delay the committee by en-
dsavoring to get on Is easily as possible.
There ID no use now in .rehashing the
arguments to show the benefits the city
VIII Uerive from the location of the army
post hero. Every citizen Of Seattle is
fully agreed on this point. and those who
are holding back are simply delaying till
SUFFICIENT pressure Is brought TO bear
on them to force them to subscribe.
Various subscription lists are now be-
Ing scattered through the city and pia-
cards are being placed in the stores stat
Ing that subscriptions Will be received

of the committee by Interesting everybody
else In the work now in progress"
There can be no question as TO the anx-
sefy or the government to close I'D this
matter and to start work as soon as the
land Ii transferred. The telegram from
Senator Squire read this afternoon proves
this. and the senator in his anxiety 20 bring
about a contamination OF his efforts 10
leaving no stone unturned.
1T certainly win be an epoch In the his.
tory OF Seattle when the transfer OF this
land is finally settled. and In years to come
the Dement'S accrulng from the location Of
this post VIII be source OF qualification to
every subscriber TO the army post fund"
