Association last night when ne statsu' III
speakins on the report submitted ps ms
scope committee, that nothing should De
done in the way of arranging 1or the IAN
carnival until the required sum OF sio'VVV
was guaranteed.
He said it was absolutely necessary 10
have that sum within reach before the
Association could properly go forward,
and he thought those who contrioateo
last wear should double their suoscrlp-
ton at this time, and those who ala not
contribute should come forward now anu
help forward movement that was ior
the good of the whole city,
GREAT INTEREST is SHOWN.
The meeting was Il most enthusiastic
one. and the general impression was thsat
the required amount OF iiiohes "a ~
forthcoming. Acting on the recommen-
dation of the scope committee, sub-com-
noittees on finance were appointed to go
to work at once to secure the money ana
to report on March lSt.
The guarantee fund must reach the
s15. 900 mark before any money is collected,
and those who subscribe will be expected
to place their money IN the hanos OF the
treasurer by June lst.
Mr.. 0. H F'unsten agreed to continue
as treasurer until June 1st, and the mat
ter of looking after the subscriptions was
placed in his hands
SCOPE OF THE CARNIVAL.
The report Of the Scope Committee is as
follows:
TO the Board of Directors of the Car
nival Association:
Your committee appointed to recon-
mend place Of holding carnival this 1ali,
as well as the scope to be given the same,
have the pleasure to report as follows:
We respectfully recommend that the
location shall be: Ninth Street. from
Main to Broad; Bank, from Twelfth TO
Ninth; Grace and Franklin. Eighth TO
Ninth: Capitol Street, Ninth to Twelfth.
Within these bounds to be placed the
Industrial exhibits and such other as may
be determined by the committees htEHls
the details in charge.
The Capitol Square and building. we
recommend to be used for the purpose of
electrical displays and exhibits, permis-
sion to use the same for this purpose
having been given by Colonel Eichard-
son. Register of Land Office and superin-.
tendent of public grounds and buildings
in the State.
We further recommend that Broad
shows, amusements. privileges and such
booths as merchants, resident on the
same. shall desire.
While our committee recognizes the
fact that the carnival feature is one OF
much interest to many. we believe that
a proper Industrial and trade exhibit will
be of most material benefit to our city
at this time; therefore, we urge that
every effort should be put forth to in
duce an industrial and trade exhibit
which will show the resources and COM
mercial strength Of our city.
We recommend the formation of the
following committees to take charge of
the various details Of the work:
Finance, Advertising, Amusement. Priv
ileges, Industrial and Trade Exhibit,
Parade, Military, Music, Booths, Decora-
ton, Electric Exhibit and Display,
Floral, Lights. Ordinances, Press, Police,
Programmes, Premium, Fire and Water,
Design and Structure.
WHAT WILL BE NEEDED.
Our estimate of the expenses necessary
TO conduct this carnival and exhibition
is the sum of $25.G00. We believe that
subscription to the extent of $1,000 will
enable us to satisfactorily guarantee n
carnival. The difference between these
subscriptions and the estimated expenses
can, we believe, be made up from the
SAFE @ol, pi1!ueSeS anu beIceutdSeS 1IoIIl
shows.
Your committee recommend that no
steps shall be taken towards the holding
of this carnival and exhibition. not even
the consideration Of this report, until the
sum Of $4,000 shall have been guaranteed
by subscription.
Your committee is thus positive in this,
because from past experience they know
that this guaranteed subscription is es-
sential to success.
