sent to the exposition. The plan is
for the commissioners of each county
to vote $1,000 and upward. and as
they have authority to supervise the

thought no serious objection to the
idea will be interposed. 1t is the aim
of Captain Thatcher that the cour'y
boards shall vote for the appropl al
tons this fall SO they may be included
in the tax levy next spring. He desires
also that Colorado state building
shall be erected at st. Louis of such Il
character that 1t may remain as a
permanent feature. Such structure,

600.
