SHARP DEBATE ON
EXPOSITION BILL,
Council Hears City CounseI0r's
Opinion and Then Postpones
Definite Action.

Sharp debate on the Exposition bond bill
followed the reading by Secretary Graves
Yesterday afternoon in the City Council Of
the opinion rendered by City Counselor
Schnurmacher on the relation Of the city to
the affairs OF the St. Louis Exposition and
Music-Ha1l Association. The measure was
finally laid over for one meeting.
' Mr. Schnurmacher's opinion. which refers
to the most important clauses of the bill.
or TO the effect of the passage Of the bill. In
obligatng the city to guarantee the associa-
tion's Indebtedness. is answer to three
questions propounded by Councilmen OPP
posed TO the bill. Il holds that the city
would not be liable If the association were
to borrow and default in payment: the pur
chaser OF the Exposition property, which
would also include the franchise and the
license. in addition to the building, would
acquire only the same rights that the
ISOLATION has. and the property would re-
vert to the city. but not until the eXpira-
ton Of the rights delegated by ordnance
The City Counselor assumes that the
city. In authorizing the association to
cumber its property. does not make itself
responsible for refunding the debt. Should
some party purchase the building and the
franchise. that party would succeed to pre-
cisely the same rights as tn. association
has and no more. Furthermore. that party
would be compelled to procure a charter
from the State. The purchaser could rot
retain the property any longer than speci-
fed in the ordinances. after which ii would
revert to the city, but not legally before
that time.
Mr.. Schnurmacher also believes that the
association may only use the building for
the conduct of an exposition and for events
kindred thereto; however. not for any other
purpose than specifically defined in the
ordinance. Grasping this part Of the opin-
ion, Mr. Thuner offered an amendment to
the effect that the exposition be not al
lowed to use the buildings to operate retail
stores MIR KratZ maintained that the bill
bill permitting alterations and extensions
would practically enable the association 20
alter as 1t might please.
MIR. Horton suggested an amendment dis
posing Of the clause. While he was prepar-
Ing the amendment. Mr.. kratZ moved that
the bill be laid over one meeting. Mr..
Richards and Mr.. Horton protested. but the
II otion carried. Protests against the bill
