\ letter received yesterday from Sen
ator Pritchard stated that he thought
there was no doubt that Raleigh would
be selected as Il site for an army post
if the site of $40 acres were promptly
rendered.
The location selected-and an admnra-
BILE one in all respects it is, tOO-wih
cost Raleigh $4,000. OF that sum Mr..
w. Il. Tucker will give $500 and a
like sum will be given by Berry O'kelly,
who owns land adjacent TO the Tucker
farm selected as the site by the COM
mittee and approved by the Chamber of
Commerce. This makes it necessary for
Raleigh to raise fifteen thousand dol
lars to secure an acquisition which
Chairman Chas. NJ. Busbee said yes
terday would be worth as much to Raj
eigh every year rs an addition of 5000
people to the population of the city.
The meeting at Metropolitan Hall was
called to order by President Raney on
whose motion Mr.. Chas. NJ. Busbee,
chairman of the committee that has
been working a long time most efficiently
to secure the camp and a suitable loca-
ton for it, was elected chairman. In
the course of a sensible and practical
talk upon the great value the camp
would be to Raleigh, Mr.. Busbee stated
that be understood that as soon as the
camp was accepted, Congress would APP
propriate 100000 to put it in readiness,
and to erect suitable buildings. Not to
speak of the large annual expenditures
that would follow, it would pay the city
of Raleigh to give $4,000 to secure this
large expenditure.
Speeches were made in advocacy Of
securing the camp by Messrs. A. A.
Thompson. r. III. Battle, Joseph f.
Pogue, Frank Stronach and others.
Mr.. n. w. West made the shortest
and most eloquent speech at the meet
ing. His speech in full was:
Il believe we ought to raise this fif-
teen thousand dollars right away. The
Julius Lewis Hardware Company will
be one of fifteen parties or companies
TO pay $500 to raise the desired amount"
After other remarks, on motion of Mr.
