The Fourth Of July Committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Land met last night
at the Trustees room, a good attend
ance being present.
The meeting was called to order by
the Mayor, who stated that his object
was to have arrangements made for a
rousing old Fourth of July celebration.
He was elected Permanent Chairman,
s. Luke Howe Secretary, and D. w
Carmichael Treasurer.
A discussion arose as to whether or
not there should be a parade, A. j.
Johnston, J. H Devine, George B..
Katzenstein, ]. B. Devine and Emmet
Phillips taking part, and it was finally
decided to have parade.
Mr.. Phillips moved that the Mayor
be given several days in which to Sc
lect his committees.
Corporation Counsel Devine thought
that a number of military men and
members of civic organizations should
be placed on committees, even if they
were not present at this meeting, either
from inclemency of the weather or lack
Of notice. He thought time should be
taken in selecting committees, and that
the Mayor should be allowed to take it.
He moved that he be given until next
Wednesday night to make his an
nouncement.
George B. Katzenstein thought the
Mayor could make his selection imme-
diately from the parties named by him
on this committee.
Mayor Land said that he felt just
as well qualified to appoint the COM
mittees tonight as any other time
Time is an object, and that was the
reason he had called the meeting elev-
en- days sooner than last year Anoth-
er thing, c. A Neale had informed him
that music was going to be scarce this
year, and that he had already been
written to from Marysville and other
places to try to engage him.
A. J. Johnston suggested that, if mu-
sic was going to be scarce, large
chorus be organized, to give selections,
and that the whole audience be request
ed to join in the chorus of patriotic
songs.
The motion was withdrawn, and the
Mayor then declared a recess of ten
minutes, in order that he might ap-
point committees. and when the meet
ing was called to order again he an
nounced the committees as follows:

The committees We're approved.
/ The Mayor said he thought he had
made a good selection of committees,
and he hoped that they would start
/ in and do their work promptly He
wanted to have a rousing good celebra-
tion this year, and for that reason had
called the committees together early.
He hoped that all the committees would
aid in making the celebration a sue
cess. He had watched each year to
see what portion of the celebration
gave the most satisfaction to the peo-
pie, and was satisfied that it was the
Horribles that they wanted most. That
is what keeps the people in the city
all day, as it is what they want most
to see. He hoped that the committees
would make a liberal appropriation for
the Horribles. He did not think $1,000
would be enough for a good celebration,
and that there should be $500. He
would go out with others and canvass
to raise that amount, if necessary.
General MARITIME thought the City
/ Trustees and Supervisors should give
enough for the celebration, and that
business men should not be called on.
They had already been called on for
almost everything this season.
The Mayor said that, if Mr. MARITIME
knew how low the state of the city's
finances was, he would not think so.
There is only 81, 400 in the immigra-
tiOn fund. He was not anxious to can
vass for subscriptions, but would do
so. He had himself given literally to
the convention fund, and If necessary
would put his hand in his pocket for
500 for this purpose.
Trustee Devine moved that the COM
mittees meet on Wednesday evening
next, and that the General Committee
meet next Thursday night. Carried.
Trustee Mckay suggested that the
Finance Committee call on the Super
visors and see what they would con-
I tribute.
R. H. Hawley moved that the Sec
