ISOLATION which will hold forth on the
: streets aud avenues OF Albuquerque In
: the third week Of the present month finds
, that IL has to ask for certain other 70.
: quests from the city council. namely: In
i computing the actual revenue which we
will undoubtedly receive from the sub
: : scriptions and the actual expenses which
, Will De incurred In following out the
: program arranged by the merchants and
: citizens OF Albuquerque for the fair, We
y lind that there Will be a considerable de-
dciency In the latter. In order 10 meet
these deficiencies the executive commit
tee has to resort to the disposal OF booth
privileges on the Midway Plaisance, on
o vacant lot concessions and on the grand
stand, the latter being erected On west
, Gold avenue, where the base ball games
u the fireworks, the Battle OF Mania aud
! other events will take place.
u number OF prospective patrons OF the
y Fair who desire these privileges have re-
u quested that the association secure from
!, the city council an abatement OF the reg
U ular license for selling certain goods on
the midway, on the concession lots and
on the grand stand, to only thoss whC
purchase privileges from the Fair ali
! who are willing to stand their share 0l
!, leiraying the expenses OF the Fair.
! BY abating these licenses the Fair a.
! ~sOciaIion can reap n certain o Of
revenue which would not come to II 9th
u erwise aud We hope that the city council
will comply with the above request.
