HALL OF RELICS BIDS.
Jubilee Commission viii Meet to Open and
Consider Them Tonight,
SALE OF FLOATS AND OTHER ARTICLES.


An important meeting OF the Utah
Semi Centennial Commission will be
held at the office of the Rocky Noun
tain Bell Telephone company on state

be the first meeting held by the COM
mission in n considerable time, and is
called for the purpose of opening ana
acting upon the bids for the Hail OF
Relics, which, in its abandoned condi-
ton. now stands only as reminder of
the great Jubilee In which the first half
century OF Ctah's civilization was cele-
brated.
But there are other matters to re-
ceive attention also. The question Of
the disposition of the floats, the great
spectacular features of the day ana
night parades, will he considered. Some
of these creations were elaborate and
magnificent affairs and cost lot OF
money, the aggregate reaching sl20Oo.
At present they are stored in the Ex-

them is problem. They can of course
be used In future celebrations, but
when one viii he held is an open ques-
ton. II liz suggested. however, that
they might be sold to cities of other
states where pageants Of progress are
in contemplation. or course they would
have to go at figures very much below
their original cost. Still. whatever they
bring should add materially to the sur
plus fund now on hand.
Then as to the surplus. There Is
about 81 900 In cash in the treasury in
the shape of an unexpended balance.
What to do with this md that which
comes from the sale of the Hall OF
Relics. which should bring at least ST.
900, the floats which add still n thous-
and more. and some other articles, Is
u proposition upon which the commits
sion has not yet agreed. The meeting
tonight, II It does not settle, will doubt
less pave the way TO a settlement of the
question.
